How about J-Mart on a 450 at Daytona?

I am glad for Jeremy to get this chance, however, as much as I would like to see him do well, I doubt it will go well based on his performance over the last year.

His actual performance hasn't even been shown yet. He has been laying in the first turn at every main he has done and had to come back from dead last.

Are you saying the start is not part of racing? He has been very inconsistent for almost a year already. A riders performance is judged from the drop of the gate until the checkers.

I like the guy and want him to do well, but I am not blind or naive to the results. Just the same as I really like Craig and want him to do well, he has blown it the last 12 months. I actually would rather see Craig on Roczens bike though.

For whomever said Mookie beat him last year, Daytona may be a poor example as last year Martin tracked him down the entire race, Mookie stalled, then straight-up looked tired as he faded to third. J-Mart has what 4 or 5 250 SX wins, Mookie, 1 or 2? I will bet any takers, aside from a DNQ/DNF for EITHER guy, J-Mart beats Mookie at Daytoner. We'll have to bet "tokens" of course since "real bets" are not legal on here. 25 tokens sounds good to me...
J-Mart has been the fastest qualifier this season a couple times and has had enough crap luck (Bowers bike bitch slapped him right off of his!), leading to a concussion and poor starts every race, that he is definitely not showcasing his SX skill, yet, this year. He will do great on the 450. I watched him spank a little known guy named RC in 2012 in GA, at a LL area Q. Granted RC was retired, but c'mon, J-Mart was 19 riding the POS 2012 YZ-450... It was still really fun to watch. BTW, Savatgy got smoked by both in the same race, along with a then blazing fast Zach Bell, who ended up dominating the class (450 Pro Sport), on a 250f, at LL in 2012, and had the fastest lap of the week. If you're wondering, RC made the decision that day to only race 25+ at Lorettas...

I said Mookie beat J mart and he'll do it again.. Mookie much better suited to a 450

With his riding style, I'd bet he's better on a 450

This year hasn't been his best, I hope he doesn't have a bad night on the big bike.

Where did the "JMarts style suits the 450 better" start? And what is the logic behind that statement? Because i can't see why he would suit a 450 better than a 250.

I hope he can have a good result in Daytona, he needs it.

I'm going 10-14 place. He needs a good start. Jmart is a 250 specialist and I think he will struggle on the 450 overall. Very interesting to see how Webb's and Martins careers have gone. Webb has excelled enough on a 450 to be captain of our MXDN team and was a lap away from bringing home the title. Webb has a podium this year on 450 in his rookie season. Very highly doubt that Martin will ever reach that on a 450. We shall see though. Martin reminds me a lot of Lamson who was a monster on the 125's but really struggled on the 250's. The book isn't written yet so should be exciting either way.

That adds a tasty little sub plot. I wonder if he does well if it will maybe lead to him riding that bike this summer.

Unfortunately they don't give any points for qualifying and heat races

But i have to give him props, way faster than i thought. But he was also the fastest in west SX most of the time but couldn't get top 5 finishes in the mains. Lets wait and see what he does in the actual races!
