Most Likely is such a banger that our friends at Michelin have already jumped on board! So, go buy some new tires for your entire lineup!

Each week, Slaw, Troy, and Cade Clason 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.

Is Jett Lawrence most likely to sweep Texas?

Cade Dog: No, I think a start, there are 4-5 different guys that can win

Troy Dog: Unfortunately yes, Moto 1 in Charlotte was the time to put any doubt into that kid’s brain. Eli Tomac did the best he could to put him in his place, but Jettson being that great after so much time off was scary to watch.

Slaw: I went against Jett last week. My mistake. Won’t happen again. Yes, he goes 1-1. 

We’ll ask this again: Does any rider most likely have any chance of stopping Haiden Deegan from winning the Playoffs?

Cade Dog: No, these dudes are efffffffed. That dude is good.

Troy Dog: Nope, we’re in for a ride until he moves up to the premier class. So, hold on.

Slaw: I went against Deegan last week. My mistake. Won’t happen again. Yes, he goes 1-1. 

Is Eli Tomac most likely to hit “Beast Mode” in Texas? 

Cade Dog: Depending on the dirt, if it’s hard packed…no. If they are able to keep it wet, and tacky, he’s on. 

Troy Dog: I don’t really even know if he’s hit “Beast Mode” since he’s come back. People keep saying he hit it at Ironman and Charlotte, but as an observer I don’t think it’s happened yet. I think if he does hit it that it will be this weekend, but I don’t think it will be enough to beat Jett.

Slaw: Two Beast Modes in two weeks? Sure. Tomac is getting his sea legs back and showcasing why he’s an all-time great. But… he won’t be Jett.

Which rider is most likely to win the Supermini All-Star race at Texas Motor Speedway?

Cade Dog: Come on guys. 🙃🙃🙃

Troy Dog: As a guy who has a front row seat to who is racing this event, it’s basically all of the big named Supermini racers in the country. Everyone has been invited. At least 80 riders or so. I’ve got Carson Wood walking away with the win in this one. He’s going to want redemption from Loretta Lynns. I also believe this will be his final ride for Team Green.

Slaw: I can’t find who is racing so…

Is our buddy Cade Clason most likely to make it out of the LCQ this week?

Cade Dog: What are the odds I get last two weeks in a row? That’s a better question. Update: I had a much better week this week.

Troy Dog: Lol. What if I said no? Cade would you be so mad? Someone needs to light a fire here and I’ll be that guy. CADE, YOU CAN BUY MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HUNTING GEAR WITH THE PRIZE MONEY. GET THAT START!

Slaw: Two Cade Modes in two weeks? Sure.

Is Juju Beaumer most likely to win the IJSBA Jet Ski World Finals in October?

Cade dog: IDK what that is, but prolly not. No 

Troy Dog: Yes, I wrote an incredible piece on Julien Beaumer this week (AMA pay attention and make notes for the AMA Media Member of the Year Award). He’s going to dominate and cement himself as one of the greatest two-sport athletes of all-time.

Slaw: I have zero knowledge of ski of jets, but if he rides them like he did last weekend at SMX, then yes.

After a rough round one, is Cooper Webb most likely to bounce back in Texas?

Cade Dog: I think if he’s 5% better, he’s right in the mix. He’s only off a little bit. 

Troy Dog: Yes, never ever count out Cooper Webb, especially with massive amounts of money on the line. Coop will find a way to get his. With double and triple points on the line in the next two races, this is his chance to do so.

Slaw: Nah, like last year, don’t think Cooper cares all that much about SMX. He will at A1, though.

Which rider in either class is most likely to be the biggest surprise in the Lonestar State?

Cade Dog: 94, he gonna light it up.

Troy Dog: I think T-Dog Squad Athlete Marshal Weltin will continue to impress. Heck, he might even break into the top ten in one of these with the way that he’s been riding.

Slaw: AP… he will bounce back. Stamp it.
