Just read on Australian supercross page his heading down here for the series?

Should be good to have a few Americans over here for the series

Man I hadn't been to a SX in years, but my nephews were keen to go the Brissy (Jimboomba) round and even though it was 40c and I don't sweat, it was good shit! Good track, good racing, good times.. Was gonna go again this weekend but... Couldn't be fucked haha

Admitted to testing Honda's in the US

I'm guessing he means he tested with HRC, right?

I believe he had the option to go back to Honda after riding with them but opted out because he is and was at the time living in Charlotte.

I could be wrong, but I think the previous contract was essentially performance based? And he was an independent contractor.

Little side note, Gavin Faith and Justin Brayton are from the same home town of Fort Dodge, Iowa. Pretty cool to see those guys ripping it up.

not sure about RV's motivation, but Cooper, Reed, Wil Hahn and others will certainly be going for the win, not sure Brayton has it in him to gap those guys

I think Brayton can beat Wilbur no problem, only hurdle he'll have to jump over is getting comfortable on the Honda.

Nobody's gapping anybody by 10 seconds on a track that small. That's one of the best parts about that event. I don't imagine bopping staying on the same lap as reed and coop in the states, but on that track he was a handful for a while atleast.

Can we talk about faith riding both glasses in Sydney? That's so cool, bit of a throwback to the good old days of Byrne and Taylor duking it out in nearly every race of the night in the supercross masters

Why do you automatically think he wont be comfortable on it? Seems like a massive assumption, perhaps the ride he was on before the Honda he was uncomfortable....for all we know.

This is the most stacked supercross series in australian history . Big American names coming in and former australian champions returning. Too tough to call who are the favorites to win or even be title contenders but i know villopoto will put on a clinic in sydney

It'll be interesting to see how he adjusts. Justin did grow up riding Honda and chased down and passed RV on a Honda back in 2012.

Faith did say in one of Honda's Press Releases that he may ride both classes at the final rounds (Aus-X Open)

Im pretty sure brayton didnt have the option to go back to hinda in 2013. It was a one and done deal for him. They had signed barcia who was coming off back to back east coast 250 titles before sx ended and announced it at the vegas finale. And they also had stayed loyal to canard and re-signed him.
