Supercross is back, and the upcoming round at Birmingham is pivotal. After a weekend off, momentum resets, and the second half of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship Series resumes. Let’s see what we can do to get you the highest possible RMFantasySX score on Saturday at Protective Stadium in Alabama.

1. Eli Tomac is still the pick to win. Tomac comes into Birmingham on a 1-2-1-2 run. He has also won four of nine races this year, making Tomac the favorite.

2. Look for another runner-up slot for Hunter Lawrence. Although he is on a 1-2-1 run, Lawrence has still finished in P2 five times. So, at more than half of the Supercross rounds this year, Lawrence has taken P2. Though he is still the P2 pick, if he’s your selection as the winner, that’s a strong position to take.

3. Cooper Webb has locked down P3. The defending Supercross Champion is on a 3-2-3-4-3 run. That makes picking him for P3 effortless.

3. Justin Cooper and Ken Roczen will fill out the top five. Roczen has beaten Cooper at seven of the nine rounds. However, Cooper’s two superior finishes to Roczen have come in the last four rounds. Roczen gets the edge for P4, though Cooper will be right there.

5. Jorge Pardo could crash the top-five party. He was P6 in his return to Supercross two weeks ago. Prado went 6-6-6 in the Indianapolis Triple Crown, and that’s after being rusty due to an injured shoulder. If you want to replace either Cooper or Roczen in the top five, he is certainly a contender. I’ll be waiting for Prado to get there again until I pick him for the top five.

6. The Wild Card is P14, and that’s going to be an easy one. Vince Fiese has a 15-14-13 run over the last three rounds. Picking him for P14 is not a tough call. If you’re looking for a Wild Card longshot, Colt Nichols has gone 14-11-17 over the last three rounds. Like Friese’s results, that averages out to exactly P14, though with much wider swings. I’ve got Friese for the P14 Wild Card.
