2013 Motocross | Washougal Predictions

Photo: allisports.com

Better late than never as they say.  RedBud was full of surprises but who would have guessed Ryan Dungey's machine would malfunction and send his points standing plummeting. This is Villopoto's championship to lose but anything can happen, which makes this exercise so difficult.

In the 250 class we had the makings of an epic struggle between the top two guys but in the end the track monster had the last say as Eli Tomac continues to claw his way back from minor setbacks.  It's still close and 'anything can happen.'  How about Jeremy Martin, great to see him on the box.  Cooper Webb is still the rookie of the year and I expect him to steal more attention from Cianciarulo.

Another short post this week but do sweat it, the meat and potatoes are served up; here are my predictions for Washougal.

450 class

1. R. Villopoto (- 1)
2. R. Dungey (- 1)
3. J. Stewart (+ 1)
4. J. Barcia (+ 1)
5. T. Canard (+ 1)
6. M. Alessi (- 1)
7. J. Brayton (+ 1)
8. B. Tickle (- 1)
9. J. Weimer (- 1)
10. P. Nicoletti (+ 1)

250 class

1. K. Roczen (- 1)
2. E. Tomac (+ 1)
3. Z. Osborne (- 1)
4. M. Musquin (+ 1)
5. J. Anderson (- 1)
6. J. Martin (+ 1)
7. K. Cunningham (+ 1)
8. B. Baggett (+ 1)
9. C. Webb (- 1)
10. W. Hahn (+ 1)

A couple that surprise me too but hey, take a position or move aside.  Weather looks like it's going to cooperate so no great equalizer this week; here they come Washington.
