2024 Denver Supercross Fantasy Picks and Ideas [8 Fast Facts]

We’re getting all the way down to the nitty-gritty within the 2024 Monster Power AMA Supercross Championship Sequence. Two rounds stay, so we will begin speaking about what it’ll take to clinch the title. Nevertheless, that’s getting forward of ourselves, as we nonetheless must beat our pals in RMFantasySX.com leagues. The penultimate spherical awaits our consideration at Empower Area at Mile Excessive, so let’s get to our 2024 Denver Supercross fantasy picks and suggestions.

1. Jett Lawrence is again on a roll, and he seems to be unstoppable. You’ll be able to choose another person to win in Denver, however all the things factors to a different Lawrence victory. Lawrence has two wins in a row; he’s the one rider with consecutive wins in 2024 and has carried out it twice. It has been a powerful rookie Supercross season for the Australian.

2. Chase Sexton is your greatest guess for P2. Sexton has three P2s within the final 5 rounds. Whereas he’s not more likely to problem Lawrence, Sexton has the very best velocity of the remainder of the sphere. The defending Supercross Champion has a little bit of motivation, as he’s nonetheless not mathematically eradicated from profitable the title. Nevertheless, his probabilities of repeating his late-season heroics final 12 months are extraordinarily low.

3. Don’t search for higher than P3 for Cooper Webb. Though most observers anticipated two-time Supercross Champion Webb to step it up in opposition to the rookie because the season closes, the other has occurred. Within the two races since Webb and Lawrence had been tied for the lead, Lawrence has gained twice and Webb has gone 3-4. Even worse, Webb surrendered a podium spot on the last lap final week in Philadelphia. With the stress diminished—Webb sits 12 factors behind Lawrence—Webb ought to journey unfastened sufficient to land a podium end. I’m selecting Webb for P3, however I’m not all that assured.

4. Jason Anderson is on a 4-4-3 tear. It’s too little too late, as the previous Supercross Champion is mathematically eradicated from the title chase. Nonetheless, Anderson is trying good. With a extra relaxed Webb, count on Anderson to problem for the rostrum, however not fairly make it.

   

5. It ought to be one other top-five for Eli Tomac, however don’t count on extra, even at his residence race. The 2-time Supercross Champion is tough to foretell. Tomac has solely three top-five finishes within the final seven rounds, although one was a win and one other a P2 consequence. Regardless, Tomac’s eight top-fives this 12 months places him properly forward of anybody nonetheless using, exterior of the 4 riders I’ve picked to beat him. When you’re in search of a darkish horse choose for a win, Tomac is it, as he certainly needs to win at residence. If he will get a holeshot, it’d occur. If Tomac begins exterior of the highest three, a win is unbelievable.

6. The Wild Card is P7, and 4 riders are within the combine, and one clear favourite. My alternative is Hunter Lawrence, as he enters Empower Area with three P7s in a row—you may’t beat that consistency. Justin Cooper has been within the P7 neighborhood for many of the 12 months, although he has 4 P8s and only one P7. Justin Barcia has gone 9-8-9-6-11-5-6 during the last seven rounds. There’s no P7 in there, however he’s been inside one spot 3 times. Lastly, you might have Malcolm Stewart. P7 is Stewart’s greatest end this 12 months, and he’s carried out it twice. Stewart additionally has a pair of P8s to go along with the 2 P7s. So, Stewart may be your most suitable option after Hunter Lawrence. Don’t choose Benny Bloss–he’s out for the final two rounds with a damaged arm and collarbone.

7. Right here’s what it’ll take for Jett Lawrence to clinch the title, and we’ll hold it easy. If Lawrence wins, Webb should end in P9 or higher to remain within the hunt going into the ultimate spherical in Salt Lake Metropolis. If Tomac wins, Lawrence should end in P8 or worse in Denver for Tomac to stave off elimination. If Sexton wins, he’s eradicated if Lawrence finishes in P12 or higher on Saturday at Empower Area at Mile Excessive. Realistically, Webb is Lawrence’s solely title contender, even when Lawrence lays a goose egg in Denver.

8. The racing begins at 7 p.m. Jap Time on Saturday at Empower Area at Mile Excessive in Denver. Race Day Reside fires up at 1:30 p.m. Peacock, the place you go for the stay video/audio stream, with SiriusXM operating the audio for the race.
