2013 Motocross | Lake Elsinore Predictions

Rapid ‘Ryan Villopoto’ is no stock car boy but he is too much to believe having clinched the title early to round out his 2013 Supercross and Motocross seasons.  Let’s not forget about Eli Tomac who also clinched his division by absolutely dominating the last 4 races.  Both guys are certainly ‘dirt track demons’ and deserve to be called the fastest men on the planet.

So now that the champs have been named, what’s left for the rest of the field?  It’s all about the Benjamin$ now and if Supercross is any indication the champs will not let up; bad news for the rest of the field.  Great rides from Peick, Goerke and Lamay in the 450 class and finally we get to see the true potential of the rookie Adam Cianciarulo in the 250 class with a dynamite ride from the Kawasaki rider.

These guys are competitors so it must be a little deflating to know that the title is off the table but you can bet each one of these guys are looking to have a great race in hopes of gaining the attention of some of the team managers out there.

My results have been lacking but this project of mine continues despite the results out of Utah.  Lake Elsinore always brings up memories of those Honda’s of the 1970’s.  It will be a bitter sweet weekend for a lot of us motocross fans but the show must go on; Lake Elsinore pics; bon appétit.

Jim Croce, for those too young to recognize the opening paragraph – Rapid Roy that stock car boy; have a listen, you’ll love it.  Have a great time Lake Elsinore, the champs have been crowned but you get to close out the season, that’s pretty special.
