2023 Daytona Supercross Fantasy Ideas and Picks [8 Fast Facts]

The 2023 Monster Power AMA Supercross Championship Collection marches towards the midway level with the Daytona Seaside spherical at Daytona Worldwide Speedway. Ricky Carmichael designed the Daytona course once more, so you understand it’s going to problem the riders with completely different sorts of filth, together with a protracted sand part. The climate will probably be nice—no rain doubtless, with temperatures within the 70s when the primary gate drops on Saturday. So, let’s see if we will nail down the highest 5 for RMFantasySX.com fantasy supercross gamers.

1. With six wins within the final seven years, Eli Tomac is the King of Daytona. Tomac additionally has gained greater than half the rounds this 12 months. Choose anybody apart from Tomac to win at your RMFantasySX outcomes’ peril.

2. Cooper Webb is on a 1-2-1 run, so put him down for P2. Whereas Webb doesn’t have the sheer pace of Tomac or Chase Sexton, Webb is all the time there on the finish of the Fundamental Occasion. Daytona is a tricky race, and that may profit Webb. If he manages to beat Tomac, don’t be shocked.

3. Chase Sexton is essentially the most constant rider within the discipline. Sexton has completed within the high 5 at each race, and has a five-round run of podiums. Sexton is arguably the quickest rider on the monitor. Nonetheless, he makes errors which have value him a number of wins. Nonetheless, Sexton has made it to the rostrum in six of seven rounds—greater than anybody else. I slot him for P3, although he’s clearly able to profitable.

4. Simply as Chase Sexton is tough to foretell, so is Jason Anderson. Given his pace, it’s stunning that Anderson has simply two podiums in 2023. Regardless, his 4 top-five finishes within the final 5 rounds make Anderson a powerful choose as a top-five finisher. If he doesn’t make any errors, you would see him on the rostrum. I’m going with P4 for Anderson.

5. The battle for my P5 is between Aaron Plessinger and Ken Roczen. Whereas Roczen has 5 podiums this 12 months, he has been properly outdoors the highest 5 in two of the final 4 races. The Daytona course is demanding, which doesn’t work in Roczen’s favor. Though Plessinger dropped to P6 final week in Arlington, he had a run of three top-five finishes earlier than that. Search for Plessinger to rebound for P5 at Daytona.

6. There are 5 viable decisions for the P10 Wild Card— Justin Cooper, Justin Hill, Colt Nichols, and Dean Wilson. Cooper has gone 7-7-10-9, so he’s proper in there. Justin Hill is on a 13-14-10 run, positioning himself as a legit top-10 risk. After his P6 debut, Nichols has been within the P10 neighborhood each race, going 12-12-13-11-9-14. Whereas Wilson hasn’t cracked the highest 10 in 2023, he has been shut. Wilson’s 12-11 finishes on the final two rounds put him in P10 competition. Not one of the 4 riders stand out as a prohibitive favourite for P10, so that you’re additionally free to gamble on Joey Savatgy’s injured wrist, as his 10-10-10-9-9-8 historical past earlier than the tweak final week. Hail Mary decisions embrace Josh Hill (14-13-3), Benny Bloss (16-17-12), and Christian Craig (13-11-11-11-10-7-8). I’m selecting Wilson and crossing my fingers. I haven’t hit a Wild Card but this 12 months—I’m due.

7. I’ve been doing fairly good at selecting who’s within the high 5, however not so good in regards to the precise order. Because of this, I’m barely within the high half of RMFantasySX gamers after seven rounds. Hey, that’s why we name the following pointers—take the data and make your finest decisions.
