What new faces will we see out there? I know Zane Merritt and Ty Masterpool are racing. Ty is a surprise for me, I didn't know he was old enough to go pro and I don't think he's ever raced the 250. Last year at Loretta's he he raced Schoolboy on the 125. Will be interesting to see how he does, hoping to see our Texas boys put on a show. Curren Thurman will be racing too, he ran the last few SX rounds this year and did ok. He should shine outdoors, same with Zane.

Is it next season when rookie class is going to be balls deep with the "next generation" talent?? Seth Hammaker? Jo Shimoda? Carson Mumford? Lance Kobusch? Pierce Brown? Jalek Swoll?

I can tell you from announcing Supercross Futures this season, some of these guys are the real deal. Pierce is an animal on a SX track, same with Hammaker. I’ll be watching Zane outdoors for sure, great kid, but where has Kobush been all year? Haven’t seen him anywhere.

I'll bet you're fun to hang out with at parties. Such a little ray of sunshine...

Edited to actually add to the thread:
Does anyone know if Hammaker, Swoll, Shimoda, Brown, Mumford or Kobusch are moving up after Loretta's, or will they wait until SX next year?

Shimoda will turn pro after LL this year.

The real deal based on an 8 lap race on a track where kids on 50's are jumping everything?

Who’s the fastest dude that’s expected to move up this year and how do you think he will do?

The last I talked to Seth and his family, the plan was to skip Supercross and focus on a motocross the first year. But I think that will depend on what AC92 does at the end of this moto season.

If only the MFG didn't give "amateurs" a bunch of "expense" money and instead spent that money on pro's...

Do we know which of these kids are coming in and doing a few races, as the rule for lorettas has changed, and then going back to being an "amateur" and how many are sticking around for the whole series? Is Derek Drake a full fledged TLD guy now?

A couple of those names are good, but just not 'that' good.

Didn't think he was close to being ready. Oops the rules changed. You can run one pro race per season. So maybe he's just getting his feet wet.

I saw on Hanny’s Insta Story that Seth had asked him about running the 100 as his normal 510 was taken. Sounds like maybe after LL he’ll be coming up based off of that?

I’m curious to see how well this goes for Ty. I thought Jake did well last year in Supercross so you can’t sleep on the Masterpool boys. It’s gonna be rad to have one in each class, nice work Mom and Pop!

Max Vohland is 15 now and should be moving up soon. Seen him out at a local track last weekend on an 85. Kid flys.

Whats going to happen with geico? Next year they have jmart,hunter Lawrence,craig,hampshire and sexton. Jo will move up and im guessing jett lawrence will at the same time? Surely they cant make them do another year in amateurs. Thats 7 riders on geico for 2020?

Kobush is riding a Suzuki now which surprised me. He will most likely be at LL then pro after that I would guess. Hardy Munoz is one I can't wait to see move up, kid is no joke.

Craig is a crazy fast dude and a really cool guy, but if he gonna crash out again, do we really gonna see him again? I feel like other riders deserve that factory spot more.
