Does not whine but is not afraid to voice his opinion when he feels strongly about something and then lets it go.
Avid hunter and gun collector. Goes to Alaska and Africa for big game safaris to celebrate his championships.
2 races into his 450 debut season, he's still getting the feel for an entirely new bike and level of power and he sits in a tie for 5th in the points, with Tedesco only 3 points ahead. My guess is when he gets comforable with the power of that weapon he's been given in that fuel-injected factory KXF450, his "supercross only" rivals may be singing the blues. And his outdoor rivals may feel much worse.
