Well now that Justin B is gone from JGR how cool would it be to see Les get his spot. I think with a little more time with that team Les could be a top 5 to 7 guy.
Who else would like to see Les get the spot?

Definitely. That kid just needs some consistency in his program. He trained in the off-season on a Honda 250, then raced a Yamaha 450, then a Suzuki 250, then another Yamaha 450, and he still did well.

as much as Les seems like a good rider and a great kid...I just don't think he is ready for that caliber of ride...how about filling in for DD over at Eleven10 Mods.

From the sounds of where they want the JGR program to be, a 5-7 guy isn't what they want. I think he could do well on a good supported ride though for sure.

I agree but the big problem there is that the top 4 guys guy's are already takenLaughing (JS, CR, RD, RV) I know that sounds like Im being a jerk but its the truth. So know we are beck to looking for a top 5 to 7 guy and I think Les can be that guy..Smile

He's ready
He should get the chance.
He can shine if given the chance

I "believe" Les has the stuff for a top level ride.

Les did exceptionally well on the 450 for JGR outdoors as a fill in rider and I think if he can get the opportunity to race for them full time he will be just as impressive in 450 SX.
