raspadoo Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Can't wait for A1 tomorrow, What are your picks for this year? I just hope someone will give Villopoto a run for his money. Heres mine. Villopoto Dungey Stewart Roczen Barcia Millsaps is injured or he'd be in there somewhere.... Edited January 3, 2014 by raspadoo Quote
raspadoo Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Ya, my KTM loyalty might have Dungey and Roczen sitting a spot higher than I might have otherwise picked Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Dungey should do good, but I wish he would get off the KTM and onto a Yamaha.. Villipotto will be hot, and should run away with it unless he gets hurt. Stewart is pretty much done IMO. not much of a fan of his. Roczen can go away. I don't like him, and don't think he will do well anyway. Barcia should be good, I like him. I am hoping Reid can do something this year, but don't think he will. Pete what app is the picks done on? Quote
ltr450rider Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I'm really pulling for Reed. For more reasons than 1, but I've recently come to come to like his attitude and style. I appreciate the guys who can break away from the big teams and factory efforts and give them all a run for their money on somewhat of their own dime. Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I forgot about Eli Tomac also, I really like him. Hope he does good. I think he will be top 10, even top 5 over the year. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Pete what app is the picks done on? https://www.rmfantasysx.com/ Rocky Mountain puts it on and is giving away some pretty killer prizes. Quote
aceisback Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Reckon they could have put the picks in alphabetical order, how much trouble could that have been? I know, it is, by first names. Who came up with that silly sh*t? Almost couldn't find BUBBA, thought he was hurt before the season even started! I needed to put him in as my 10th place wildcard but they listed him as James. He's done on two wheels, needs to move on to NASCAR where they have a fat azz contract waiting on him. Surely he would fare better than Pastrana has done on four wheels. Quote
raspadoo Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Not a fan but Stewart looked pretty good in Vegas. Wish Reed would show the speed he had before the last knee injury. Also, would like to see Canard stay uninjured long enough to get into shape.. Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Canard is a good guy. I think he has a chance for some good riding. I am still waiting for Yamaha to get some better riders. Not a fan of the Gibbs team being in there. I think they would be better off getting a team that Focuses on the Supercross/ motocross. Quote
aceisback Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Go Bubba! LOL Surprised he made it that many laps. Time for four wheels ol boy. Seems you need a cage around you. Dammit, had Roczen fifth because of his rookie status. Guess I underestimated what I saw last year. Had Bubba 10th but he let me down. Had Barcia 1st but a little trouble at the start squashed that. Long season ahead of us, gonna be fun. Quote
raspadoo Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Some great racing tonight and even better fights on the way out...... Poto didn't seem to have the speed necessary to dominate, should be a good year for sure Quote
dunefreak Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Villopoto would have won it had he not fallen over in that corner. I still think he'll dominate this season. I actually thought Bubba was going to pass Roczen. He was looking good but then his signature move (crash) took him out. He should have just stayed focused for another lap and he would have had it. Oh well. Pretty nice to see 1) KTM 2) KTM at the top of the race results. Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Nice racing for sure, I wasn't surprised at all about Stewart taking himself out. Dungey needs to have a fire lit under his a$$. He is always there, but waits for people too long. I was disappointed for Tomac, but I think he will come back and do well. I was surprised by Reed a little, but happy to see him run up front. I am no fan of Roczen, and While I am ok with KTM, I HATE Redbull as a company, so that was a terrible win for me. I tolerate Red bull for Dungey, but there are so many other guys to root for Dungey is falling down my list of favorites. I ended up with 22 points and in the top 3000. Quote
rushjunkie Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Adam where do you find your points? Click "See my previous picks" in the box where you pick the new ones. 22 for me also. Quote
ynot Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It was some great racing and if "Bubba" would have just aquired something called patience he would have been on the top of the box. He was fine right where he was without trying to complete the pass in the whoop section. But that's typical Bubba. I enjoyed the race, fiest time in quite awhile. Quote
aceisback Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 What the hell? I had the top five riders correct, just different order of finish and I got 0 points! No credit for getting the names right I guess. I expected Bubba to crash but not Villapoto. May move Roczen up from fifth for next week. Couple of those guys were on the move though and just had some issues. Villapoto is probably going to crush the competition in Phoenix. Rookie on the podium again. Quote
raspadoo Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Villopoto would have won it had he not fallen over in that corner. I still think he'll dominate this season.

Oh well. Pretty nice to see 1) KTM 2) KTM at the top of the race results. I agree Poto would have won, but watching him ride reminded me of when he has lost confidence in the past, Roczen was matching his speed while Reed and Stewart were gaining, he is far from dominate at the moment but that could change quickly. Stewart was once again quickest from my view but i have given up hope of him ever maturing. Great to see Reed up there, don't know what they showed on TV yet but it was cool to see him lead his kid around the outskirts of the track before the race. Looked like a dad and son just cruising around the dez. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Shared from Instagram because it's too funny not to... Bubba looking amazing as ever although he crashed right after this pic was taken. LOL Quote
Elkzok Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Villopoto would have won it had he not fallen over in that corner. Hell i can win too then ! Quote
dunefreak Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Hell i can win too then ! I'm saying he was doing really well until that minor mistake cost him the race. It wasn't even a crash. Just watch. I bet he dominates in Phoenix. Quote
