AMA Motocross championships

Hey guys,

anyone on here follow motocross in the states, with the 2007 Motocross season about to begin i thought id see who you guys think will take home the #1 plates

in the 450's as expected nobody will touch stewart, but should be a really good race for 2nd with the likes of ferry, millsaps, windham, tedesco, langston, alessi and hopefully byrner.
my predicted top 3 is
Stewart
Millsaps
Windham


but the 250's should be really good, i think villapoto will take the title but townley and hepler (if he returns by the 1st round, which i dont think he will) should give him a good fight, but you also cant write off metcalfe after a good race at the prequal, josh grant, jason lawrance and a few other fast guys, and also hope to see Mcfarlane get some good finishes.
my predicted top 3 is
Villapoto
Townley
Metcalfe

anyway if you follow the series post how you think the titles will end up

[Delft Maloo]

stewart are dead set certainty unless he has a bad injury. hopefully byner can get some good results.
250's will be the best championship of the series. i honestly dont think they will be able to stop ben townley, metcalf and mcfarlen should do good as well as long as they dont get injured. should be one hot fight for this one

Actually i think Byrne is stepping down to the 250's outdoors, (dont think it is 100% confirmed yet, but it is the latest rumour)
so hopefully he can run upfront all season if he does
