The 2024 Monster Vitality AMA Supercross Championship Sequence heads southwest to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, for the sixth spherical of the 17-round collection. After a tumultuous begin to the season with 4 winners in 4 rounds and ten riders notching up a top-five end, we’ve got some information to make the 2024 Glendale Supercross Fantasy Picks extra statistically pushed.
- 5 riders have three or extra top-five finishes within the first 5 rounds. Jason Anderson, Aaron Plessinger, and Chase Sexton paved the way with 4 top-fives. Sizzling on their heels are Cooper Webb and Jett Lawrence, who’ve three top-fives. With that, we’ve got 5 picks for RMFantasySX.com in hand. The subsequent step is placing them so as—possibly.
- There’s one rider with three podiums and 5 with two podiums in 2024. Sexton leads the best way in podiums, with Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac becoming a member of Lawrence, Plessinger, and Webb with two podiums. Nonetheless, if Roczen and Tomac don’t end on the rostrum, they’re out of the highest 5, making them feast-or-famine choices. Anderson has only one podium in 4 top-five appearances. So, in case you choose Roczen or Tomac within the high 5, your greatest wager is placing them on the rostrum. That technique would have paid off twice in 5 rounds, which isn’t unhealthy up to now this 12 months.
- Jett Lawrence has been the grasp of the dry monitor. He has two wins in three dry races, so he’s the choose for onerous and dry Glendale. His solely non-win on dry has been the A2 Triple Crown.
- Chase Sexton is the rostrum chief, chief in top-five finishes, and the collection chief. Nonetheless, Sexton just isn’t the win chief, so he’s prone to end behind Lawrence. As with the Nationals final 12 months, Sexton appears to be Lawrence’s strongest challenger, so P2 is it for Sexton.
- The ultimate podium spot is between Aaron Plessinger and Cooper Webb. Plessinger has gone 3-6 since his San Diego win. Webb was inside hanging distance of Plessinger at San Diego and has gone 1-4 since. That offers the rostrum nod to Webb, with Plessinger remaining a extremely dependable top-five choose.
- With 4 top-fives in 5 rounds, Jason Anderson must be in your top-five. With extra podium finishes, Plessinger ranks a P4 choose over Anderson, so it’s P5 for Anderson.
- Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac are nonetheless good darkish horse podium picks, in case you can settle for that you just would possibly find yourself with zero factors from them. Going with each on the rostrum or within the high 5 is dangerous. Final week in Detroit, Roczen was on the rostrum and arm-pumped Tomac completed in P10. The week earlier than at A2, Tomac took P2 and Roczen was simply P7. Have some good antacids readily available in case you put them each down as podium riders, and take into account that neither has a P4 or P5 end—you’ll go large or go residence empty-handed.
- I’ve talked about seven potential top-five riders, and the RMFantasySX Wild Card this week is P8. There are three stable decisions for the Wild Card. Justin Cooper is 8-8-9 on dry tracks this 12 months, so he’s a shoo-in for me. Nonetheless, Dylan Ferrandis is 9-7 within the final two rounds, and Hunter Lawrence has gone 11-8. Ferrandis and Hunter Lawrence are good decisions, however Cooper is the strongest Wild Card choose.
- It’s again to later racing on Saturday. After Race Day Dwell at 3 p.m. ET, the racing begins at 8:30 p.m. ET. Peacock takes care of the video streaming, whereas SiriusXM affords an audio-only feed. We have now all the small print on our 2024 Supercross Tv Schedule.
