Been pretty quite since a few weeks ago when we saw a short clip of him riding the Kawi. I have no doubt that kid is putting the work in. Just wondering if any of you have heard how he likes the bike and how his training is going?

He really isn't doing anything yet, just a short ride for the camera and then back on the mend from what I hear.

The bike is the best thing he's ever ridden and the training is going better than ever.

That's all you'll hear even if someone does ask.

Well , a little over 6 weeks until A1. Hoping he can make a bunch of progress from now until then. Kind of excited to see that big #3 back on a Kawi.

I was actually shocked a little at the speed he was riding at in that little video to be honest. Even if it was only about 5 - 10 seconds long....it looked like he hadn't missed a day. Hard working kid and just hoping he has a great and healthy year.

I want Roczen to win an SX title so I'm kinda hoping that Tomac is struggling a bit with the Kawi.
That's my only hope Pinch
If everything works for Tomac though, I don't see anyone beating him when he's healthy and happy with the bike - he will have all the small mistakes from last year sorted out as well I guess

I wouldn't expect to hear much from tomac until press day A1. He's never seemed to be one for press releases or social media games. Probably why he lives away from all of it. He's probably pounding out laps at his home sx track. We might see some videos from Kawasaki test track but probably not much.

I'm looking at a Tomac / Rocsen battle to the end. I can't wait to see ET3 on the greeen machine. He may need to dye his hair red to get the full effect though.Cool

The Air Force is PISSED!

Seems there's some High-Speed Low Flying Green Objects interfering with Air-Operations at the Air Force Academy.

Matthes said on a podcast, that he talked to Tomac's mechanic and Tomac will have no problem being 100% for A1.

I'll be interested to see the aggression level of JS7 at A1,Hope he keeps it on 2 long enough to make this season a battle.

they must not have noticed the other guy on a green bike win 4 c-ships in a row... while i like Tomac, i'm not about to think he'll be on a different level in SX like he was in MX.

They went through grieve, shock and denial with that guy now it's acceptance.

Whats the result of his crash in France. The limp looked severe. He only qualified 7th in a minimal field. I get the feeling his time is up.

What's Williamson's role at Kawi now? He's not listed as mechanic for either Eli or Wil on the Silly Season report (http://www.vitalmx.com/features/Silly-Season-Round-1,3835).

Whatever. Stewart is going to go balls out and win every...........

Bath who am I kidding. He will race one heat and go out for a random injury.

Makes me sad.
