O AMA Motocross 2018 dá a largada neste sábado, 19 de maio, em Hangtown, tradicional circuito da Califórnia. Este é o 47º ano consecutivo de realização do campeonato, que começou em 1972.
Eli Tomac defende o título na categoria 450 e Zach Osborne faz o mesmo na 250. Pode-se dizer que ambos alinham como favoritos, mas todos sabemos que neste esporte o roteiro do campeonato é imprevisível e tudo pode mudar num piscar de olhos. Com 12 etapas e pontuação em 24 baterias, a consistência de bons resultados continua fundamental. Tomac conquistou o título com certa folga em 2017, mas teve uma segunda metade de campeonato bastante irregular e contou com uma mãozinha dos adversários - Marvin Musquin e Blake Baggett - que alternaram abandonos e lesões no decorrer da disputa.
Eli Tomac
Um retorno bastante esperado para este início de campeonato é do alemão Ken Roczen. Entretanto o próprio afirmou que o início será bastante difícil, já que pôde treinar baterias completas apenas há poucos dias. Sua equipe Honda HRC oficializou Christian Craig na vaga de Cole Seely. Quem também anunciou piloto substituto foi a Yamaha com Alex Ray ocupando temporariamente o lugar de Cooper Webb.
A lista de ausentes neste início de campeonato também não é pequena. Além dos já citados acima temos Josh Grant, Broc Tickle (suspenso pela FIM), Justin Bogle, Dean Wilson, Adam Cianciarulo (que operou o joelho e provavelmente só volta ano que vem), Martin Dávalos, Jimmy Decotis, Dylan Ferrandis, Colt Nichols e Mitchell Oldenburg.
Brazucas na pista
A torcida brasileira está atenta para acompanhar três pilotos, todos na categoria 250: Gustavo Pessoa, atual campeão nacional, volta mais experiente após pontuar em várias etapas no ano passado com um esquema completamente particular da Itamaracá Rodas; Enzo Lopes faz sua estreia no campeonato com equipamento oficial da JGR Yoshimura Autotrader Suzuki; e Ramyller Alves vem embalado pelos bons resultados no Supercross 250 Leste onde chegou a completar baterias finais entre os dez primeiros.
