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

When you look at how deep this class is, consistency is going to be the key above all else. That is why Dan picked the #28, Shame McElrath, to top the 250 West. Photo by: Simon Cudby
