| “I really think that Ryan Dungey is going to win the championship this year. He has a work ethic like no other and he has a mentor with RC helping him out.” |
“I’m going with Ben Townley. Being from Tallahassee , I see this kid training everyday with Aldon Baker. Plus he’s putting in countless laps over at RC’s track.” |

| “It’s going to be very tight on the East Coast this year but I think Mike Alessi is going to pull it off. But I also think we need to keep an eye on Ryan Dungey and Billy Laninovich.” |
“I’m going with Broc Hepler. He came on strong at the end of outdoor season winning the last three of the four races. He has also made the switch to Yamaha and I think that will give the extra momentum to win the championship this year.” |

“I really think it’s going to be a close one between Hepler and Laninovich because Billy has the experience but Hepler is just plain fast.” |
“I think Alessi going to come out fighting and he has something to prove this year. Also, with Villopoto wrapping up the West Coast Championship, it’s going to give him that extra hunger for the East Coast Championship.” |

| “I’m going with Mike Alessi for sure. He has what it takes to go fast and he’s probably the most consistent rider on the tour.” |
“I’m going with Hepler. We’ve had a long relationship over the years and I have a lot of faith in him this year. He made the switch from Suzuki to Yamaha this year and he has something to prove.” |
