Somebody on this shore needs to give him a ride, he's proving he's got what it takes.

He should be on that Gieco Honda right now, instead of Faith.

I figured he would podium one of the supercrosses that he is doing but I didn't think it would come this early.

Well Done Zach!!!!!

Zachs had plenty offers even before this season, but he's been very loyal to the team he's with. I think next season he'll be back in US full time.

How come he is doing better in the states than he was in Europe. Is he more of a SX rider than a MX rider? More relaxed back home in the States? Talent pool not as deep than in Europe?

Thats a shame then. It would of been good to some pure USA talent mixing it up with the GP boys. Makes things interesting.

Zach's doing fine on the Yamaha he has, he can win on it no problem including the carb! Cosworth, Ohlins and all the the team have done a great job.
Maybe we will have a US part of our team in 2013!
Zach has worked hard since his injuries and Im please for him. Great job.

Yep, I'm also very pleased for Zach. I can't wait to see him, Tommy and Jeffrey go at this year for the WC. Pissed off about Musquin but you can't have everything.

zach is riding great at the moment because he has a great team with a relaxed atmosphere and he is putting in the work whilst having fun.Their is some talk of him doing a couple of rounds of the british pre-83 125cc championship just for fun, he did ride a 1981 yz125 last year at an evo meeting and really enjoyed it

He was fourth in the world in 2010 and British Champion in MX2...but no one gave him the media and respect he deserved from that achievement in the US.

He has been riding great in the GPs and British Championship since he moved. was top five I think last year until he got hurt and was fighting for the british title with Tonus until he hurt his shoulder. Don't forget he has been racing Roczen, Musquin, Herlings, Searle, Tonus, Paulin etc the last couple of years.... those guys are really really quick.

Americans are only believing it now due to his supercross results.

Everyone else who followed GPs and British Championships knows how fast he is and has been the last few years ( he beat Ferry in a moto at the MXDN in 2008 too on the 450)

His results are not a shock to me at all. He is a great rider on a great team. It is nice that he is getting the respect he deserves from the US industry now too. Well done the real 338!

well said, im glad to see zach doing well- he's a good kid, always got time to talk to the fans at races and puts the work in. He's on one of the best teams in the gp paddock, and is getting better each round in supercross! Must be a great experience for both zach and the team- testing new waters so to speak!

Well done zach!
