Can't wait to see what the new bikes like today. Like a kid on Christmas morning! #BlackAndNotSoYellowWink

Maybe fill in for Wharton?

That team is down 2 riders already.. if it's true I hope Leib can put some luck together and push past all the problems plaguing him in Europe.

I predict that Leib will switch allot of bikes in his career, just because he will always chase that one lucky podium finish in Fermo, last year....

While I can appreciate people just not liking him because of the antics and team changes, calling a podium at any professional event "lucky" is dumb. You don't luck into good finishes. He didn't luck into consistent top 10s during the SX season before getting hurt, he didn't luck into putting that sewing machine Husky into the top 10 at a GP. The kid has something that will keep him in the view of teams, and that's speed.

Yeah he is the real deal on the track. If he were to race a full outdoor season he would get on the podium.

I follow the GPs pretty close and still can't keep up?? But can add:
He did the German GP with Garibaldi Honda
2DNF's but was apparently riding his own bike

Czech GP with the help of Martin Honda
Burnt his hand on the radiator and went home

Returned home and signs Yellow again

Eventful year,hopefully now we'll see him raceSmile

I'm certainly not a fan, but how good is he?
now it can not really be the material for the rockstar riders are at the front . now if you hear him, he has great stuff but still no results
you can not tell me that 16 and 36 is good

Anybody have an update on Leib? Did he have a left arm injury like it looked on tv or was there a bike problem?

Perhaps a leftover tuft of Blakes hair got sucked into the engine.

DL said he jammed his hand/wrist early in the day and again on the first lap of moto 2, he's going to try to be ready for next week.
