My bad, just noticed the FMF exhaust, so maybe not the factory, but it looks like he has some help.

Is this guy gonna be up front? I know he is obviously talented but also had some injuries. How did stack up against bisceglia , Rodriguez or any other riders that could serve as a reference?

He is under the FMF/Orange Brigade banner as of now, but when I saw him at Glen Helen the other day he was testing with WP on some of their works components, and had a factory services engine. So the question of course being is how close is his race bike going to be to say Musquins? I guess we will get a better look at Glen Helen, I wouldn't be surprised if they build him something pretty close, to give him a shot and see if he is worth bringing on to one of their supported teams.

I would agree with you, I think its great that the orange brigade program is so close to a factory effort, i think he will have pretty darn good equipment right from the get go, the kid has alot of speed, but as we have seen before, it takes alot more than speed to succeed in the big boy ranks. Wish him alot of luck.

He had something "close" to musquins bike at every amateur national he rode last year.

He will have the same bike as musqiun come outdoors, with whatever graphic kit they tell him to run.

Odd they don't throw him straight to the factory team, they've been grooming him for the last what 3 years? You guys sure he isn't gonna be under the tent?

He has been in a class the last two years. He wasn't doing well enough to go pro when Adam and cooper did or even when Bisecglia did. At 90% of the am nats he was just a half a click off the top guys. Lots of style and he's fun to watch but don't expect ac or Webb like performances.
