Each and every week, MotoXAddicts staffers Chris Cooksey, Larry Chirco and Dan Lamb will list their top ten power rankings for the 450MX class and the 250MX class during the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. The lists are based on results, health, speed, fitness, consistency and the upcoming track. The points will have some weight in the list, but it is just one of many factors.
