Supercross season is upon us again. The biggest news is probably that Fox finally got the boot, and all the races are on NBCSports now. Check out this TV schedule:



If you live in the US, you can tell your cable company to suck it and just buy direct access to the races with the Gold Pass. I used it for the outdoor season a few years ago, and it was pretty nice to get all the races live and without ads. If you're outside the US, check out this link.

We're also running a PulpMX fantasy league again this year. To steal from our post last year:
Instructions:
1. https://www.pulpmxfantasy.com
2. Sign up using your SA username (preferably)
3. Select leagues
4. Join Goons (pw: ralph)

Format
1. Pick 4 riders in both the 250 and 450 classes each week.
2. Cannot pick the same rider two weeks in a row.
3. Riders are given "handicaps". Handicaps adjust points earned based on finish position. Example: Rider with handicap of 4 finishes 11, points awarded for 7th.
4. You must pick at least 1 "All-Star" for each team. "All-Star" riders are classified as the current top 8 in points for each class. Riders not categorized as "All-Star" are worth double points if they're handicap-adjusted finish is in the top 10.
5. Optional: Guess the race leader at the end of lap 1. +15 points for correct pick, -15 points for incorrect pick.

If you're ready to abandon our dead forum, we will probably be discussing the races in the #bieks Discord

Is Tomac going to choke before he can win the championship? Will Plessinger bust out some new dance moves? Can Cianciarulo finally claim a 250 title? Time will tell.

I'd guess tomorrow maybe? Usually they open up at least a few days before the races, and I think they were waiting for that provisional entry list to be released.

If both of them stop choking this year it will be the end of the world.

Anderson "gets injured" to save face in the middle of the season after he gets sick of losing to Tomac and Roczen.
Osbourne to be the best rookie and finishes top 3 in points behind Tomac and Roczen.
Plessinger gets all the fun beat out of him by the 450 class and gets injured.
The other 3 baker program riders (Musquin, Anderson, Webb) kill each other every week.

gonna lol so hard at you when Anderson wins again even though he's not as good as Tomac or Roczen.

Agree on Osbourne.

Disagree. Plessinger is going to get carried to greatness by ZachO.

Will Webb be good this year? Finally? A: no.

Oh yea, Anderson could definitely win again. It's probably more likely than Eli not doing Eli things at some point during the season, like his pants falling down again or stopping for a slize of pizza before he gets back on his bike after he wads it somewhere.

I was just listening to the 450 season preview from pulpMX and it looks like Osbourne is going to be out for the first couple of weeks. Damnit.

Marv apparently has a knee injury, Eli was rumored to be off the bike for a week or two after a getoff, and there was a rumor that Anderson was in the ER with a wrist thing. I don't know what's real and what's disinformation.

Either Roczen's arms are made of glass or they're made of steel now. I don't know which though.

I think a lot of folks are eyeing Eli and Jason, but I think Marv is just as likely to be as good as those 2.

The Osborne news is real at least. It sucks, but at least he doesn't have to deal with the pressure of possibly winning a title his first season.

Any of y'all get the NBC Gold thing this year? I'm thinking about it but has it been confirmed that you can watch the races after the fact? I don't wanna drop that coin and not see the weekends because work might interfere occasionally.

Happened to me like three times last year. I don't know why but it sucks. If you post who you picked in thread then we can believe you and include your points at the end of the year. Maybe.

I know we're all live-chattin' the races now, but I thought the 450 main was a great race, though I'm feelin' bad for Mookie - I thought this might be his year.

Bagget winning is awesome. I wish Barcia did better, but in my heart of hearts I think 6th place is going to be close to (maybe a bit under) his average finish.

K-Roc getting the red plate. I WONDER IF IT"S GON B HEAVY HURR DURR.

The 250 race was boring. I expect AC to win every West race really. Jimmy D failed me like usual.

One of the other bartenders came in this afternoon and asked if I'd cover for him this Saturday night 'cause he's got family coming to town.

I was like, sure. No problem.

He left the bar and 10 seconds I was like, WAIT!!!

I chose Carson Brown and I'm pretty sure he wasn't even there :( And then Savatgy didn't help.

Mitchell Harisson might be a good pick next week, his handicap should be really juicy not making the first two mains.

e: It's also the first triple crown round! That will at least guarantee all your guys will be in the mains
