At the 2013 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship opener, Monster/Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto threw down the gauntlet on the field. The 2011 450 AMA Motocross Champion went 1-1 and did so by over twenty-seconds in both motos. That is no small feat when you consider there are three former 450 Motocross Champions chasing the #2 in ’13.

Now, the question is, can anyone close the gap on the #2 and, if so, who will be the first person to stop RV in 2013? Below we listed the most likely candidates and some outside possibilities. Vote on who you think will be the first rider to finish in front of Villopoto in the outdoor Motcoross Championship below.
