Henry Wiles
Jared Mees
Jake Johnson (who has sat out half the season, but is now standing in for Brad Baker in the factory Harley team).
The rider who I think could have pushed Wiles the hardest, Brad Baker, broke his leg hitting some debris (that was rumoured by be from a dirt track racecar, but I haven't heard for sure) at the recent Black Hills GNC round in Sturgis.
Jared Mees will be up for a fight, but will be happy with a podium to keep his title defence on track.
This is likely to be the last Peoria TT National the Experts will ride 450s at because of somewhat controversial proposed changes to the AMA GNC rules, that will mean Experts ride twins in ALL race, TT or short track.

A while back you said the Peoria TT was a "shit motocross race."
ReplyDeleteI can't disagree more. You have it absolutely backwards. Motocross is a shit Peoria TT.
Today was evidence of that.
Watching Mees chase Wiles for 25 laps was an absolute pleasure. I will always cherish knowing I was there.
I love you. I have each issue on my shelf, except Sideburn #1. You have done a lot to promote flat track world wide, but I have been pissed about this since you said it.
