The 2026 SuperMotocross season is officially over, and the SMX finale in Branson gave us championships, retirements, major offseason questions and plenty to debate heading into 2027.

Jorge Prado completed one of the biggest career turnarounds in recent memory by capturing the 450 SuperMotocross championship with KTM. After everything that happened over the last year, Prado has gone from an uncertain future to becoming one of the biggest threats heading into the 2027 Supercross season.

In the 250 class, Levi Kitchen delivered under pressure and finished the job in Branson, taking the SMX championship and putting himself right back into the conversation as one of the biggest names to watch in 2027.

But the biggest story of the final show of 2026 belongs to Eli Tomac.

One of the greatest riders of his generation has officially reached the end of his full-time racing career. We look back at Eli Tomac’s championships, his incredible run through Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and KTM, and the relationship with longtime mechanic Brian Kranz that helped shape one of the greatest careers in modern motocross and Supercross history.

We also break down:

• Jorge Prado winning the 2026 450 SuperMotocross championship
• Levi Kitchen closing out the 250 SMX title
• What needs to change with the SuperMotocross playoff format
• Why Branson could still be the perfect location for the SMX finale
• Jett Lawrence and the importance of the 2027 Supercross season
• Chase Sexton’s future and whether he should stay with Kawasaki
• Dylan Ferrandis officially retiring from professional racing
• The end of the Rockstar Husqvarna team
• Chance Hymas being replaced by JuJu Beaumer for Motocross of Nations
• JuJu Beaumer making the move to a 450 for MXoN
• Cooper Webb, Levi Kitchen and Team USA heading to France
• The latest questions surrounding World Supercross
• What Jorge Prado’s rise means for the 2027 450 class
• Eli Tomac’s legacy and final goodbye to professional racing

The 2026 season may be finished, but the road to Anaheim 1 and the 2027 Supercross Championship starts now.

The Daniel Blair Show will return in December as we begin breaking down the 2027 Monster Energy Supercross season, rider moves, team changes, title contenders and everything happening during the motocross offseason.

Oh Man….I’m 5 minutes in and I can’t stop smiling……DB…..Love your idea’s! I can already feel the intensity of the eliminations and I think it would end up being far more exciting than the current format. Good on you for thinking outside the box and suggesting ideas that would benefit almost all parties. Thank you!

Gotta give it up for Jean-Michel Bayle as the only rider to triple crown in 1991. 250SX, 250MX and 500MX. He was a damn good MotoGP racer too. Used to be called 250GP and 500GP

Great episode and I really appreciated you recognizing how your faith in Christ has grown and how to be thankful regardless of what happens. I share that same belief and have had it play out so many times it is impossible to list them. By the way, yours is the only moto opinion show I follow and look forward to every week. Keep up the great work and may the Lord bless you.

One thing about MXGP tracks that makes them exciting is they understand how to create SLOW obstacles. They always seem to have a spot where the track suddenly goes into a very tight "S" that you literally need to slow down to make it. Or there are sections where a jump leads immediately into tight turns, so you can't just blitz it, you have to time your slow ride over it just right. Look at Trentino or even this MXoN's Ernee track. Lots of short up and down sections into 180's, zero traction getting back up, wheels spinning, hard decisions whether to take the turns tight or go the long way around the outside, for faster drive. The USA tracks are all about FASTER, FASTER, FASTER... like Milton Berle's character in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" as they watch over the hole by the big-W. And unlike that entire movie, in SMX it makes it BORING, BORING, BORING.

The USA tracks (SX and MX both) USED TO have these kind of sections, and it made it exciting. Then came Ricky and James and Chad and suddenly the push was for SPEED. And it's gotten WORSE every year. And a whole lot more dangerous.
