Predictions: Annika Morgan and Romain Allemand set to win Spring Battle 2026

The Spring Battle 2026 slopestyle prediction set points to Annika Morgan and Romain Allemand as the riders to beat, but the underlying read is more nuanced than a simple ranking by ASPI. ASPI reflects current performance level. It is an indicator of form, not the main prediction loop, which is why the projected order does not always match the highest ASPI score.

That distinction is most visible in the women’s field. Morgan is the top predicted rider even though Anna Gasser carries the highest ASPI at 87. Morgan and Momo Suzuki both sit at 84, Tess Coady at 85, and Mia Brookes at 83, so the group is tightly packed on current performance level. The prediction model still places Morgan first, which suggests her overall event outlook is stronger than a straight form ranking would indicate.

Gasser remains one of the key threats because her ASPI confirms elite level current shape, but the projection favors Morgan to deliver the best overall result in this specific contest setting. Coady at third keeps the projected podium highly competitive, with little separation across the top five. In practical terms, that makes the women’s event look open, even with Morgan holding the top spot.

The men’s side follows the same logic. Romain Allemand is the top prediction, ahead of Noah Vicktor and Yuto Kimura. Kimura has the highest ASPI in the field at 86, while Allemand is at 84, which again shows that ASPI is being used as context rather than as the decisive ranking mechanism. The model sees Allemand as the most likely winner even without the top performance indicator.

That gives the men’s contest an interesting shape. Kimura enters with the strongest current form signal, but Allemand gets the nod in the projected finish. Vicktor in second, despite a lower ASPI, reinforces the same analytical point. The expected outcome is being driven by a broader predictive framework, not by one performance metric in isolation.

Across both fields, the takeaway is that the projected winners are Morgan and Allemand, while ASPI helps explain who is arriving with strong recent level. For Spring Battle, that creates two layers of analysis: who looks sharp right now, and who the model expects to convert that into the best event result.
