Eli Tomac continues his reign as #1 heading into Indy. A small consolation for being 60 points down in the Championship – Ryne Swanberg / Garth Milan

Each and every week, Chris Cooksey and Dan Lamb will list their top ten power rankings for the 450SX class and the 250SX class in Monster Energy Supercross. The lists are based on results, health, speed, fitness, consistency during the 2018 Monster Energy Supercross series and the style of track the riders will be facing this upcoming weekend. The points have some weight in the list, but it is just one of many factors.

This is our top 10 “Power Rankings” heading into the 2018 St Louis SX,

Because he’s the only rider with a red background behind a #1 plate and he’s fresh off a big win in St Louis, it is hard to put Zach Osborne anywhere by #1. Photo by: Simon Cudby
