Each week, Slaw, Troy, Ginger Dog, and Denny Stephenson will come up with some topics and then list the riders most likely to accomplish those feats. Hence the title “Most Likely”. Most would call us brilliant.

Who was most likely the biggest surprise from the Ranch?

T-Dog: I’m going with Grant McDonald on this one. The Supermini class is one of the toughest every year a the Ranch and this year was no different. McDonald came into the week without a single top five moto finish at Loretta’s. He left with four second places and a championship in the Supermini 1 class.

Slaw: Caden “Crocodile” Dudney

Which rider would you most likely build your amateur team around, Landon Gibson or Landen Gordon?

T-Dog: You mean these two aren’t the same person? Right now I’m going with Team Green’s Landon Gordon. Gibson is like three years younger than him, I believe, but in a world where we need something right now, Gordon will be one of the most sought after riders next year in the Pro Sport classes

Slaw: I’ll go with Landen or is it Landon?

Which rider is going to end their pro career with more championships, Cole Davies or Drew Adams?

T-Dog: Drew Adams is generational, you’ll see. I called it here first.

Slaw: Drew Adams

Which rider at the Ranch most likely impressed you the most?

T-Dog: I’ve known to be on the lookout for Caden Dudney, but winning five out of his six motos in convincing fashion made me very impressed. Now that Adams is moving up, is Dudney the one to follow in his steps? I think so.

Slaw: Mike Brown 😀

Are you most likely to dye your hair blond after watching every person at Loretta’s do it?

T-Dog: Yes, I’m already looking into it. I just turned 34, so I’m looking for a midlife crisis moment and I think this is it.

Slaw: Is it 1990s and we’re watching TRL agin?

What is most likely your favorite part of Loretta’s week?

T-Dog: Watching it from an air conditioned house. I give full props to all of you for wanting to be there all week, and by all of you, I mean Chilidog Wes. What an animal.

Slaw: Not being there. It’s too HOT.

Which rider is  most likely to return to race Loretta’s next year, Jason Lawrence or Randy Richardson?

T-Dog: I think J-Law continues to ride and comes back next year on the level of Jacob Hayes, Cole Martinez, and Heath Harrison. J-Law has only been back riding and he was consistent, but now he sees what speed he needs to go to get a championship. I thought Richardson might want to come back considering how fun it was, but I think he’s sticking to his one and done plan.

Slaw: Jason Lawrence. Randy has said that he’s one and done.
