Looks like Hansen has been riding the KTM SX track with the team. Any word if he will line up at all?

Id imagine it's as likely as Lawrence lining up. 

 

Would be cool to see Hansen at WSX though

Would be cool to see Hansen do some opening ceremonies similar to Windhams transfers. He has one of the absolute best riding styles to watch IMO.

He is not looking too bad on that bike. Starting at 12:59 mark.

No. Josh doesn't want to race.

Didn't he ride at the Honda test track all the time when he was on them? I mean, isn't part of his role a test rider? I don't think seeing him at the test track is anything new.

I don’t understand how people keep paying him to ride a few laps at test tracks.  Good for him though.

His job is to be Husqvarna's team test rider, he's been on those tracks since last fall. No, Josh doesn't have an interest in racing. He's been asked multiple times and he says the risk vs reward isn't there for him these days.

Depending on the rider's ability to convey feedback. Some rider's are better than others at this. I have a rider very smooth, and just about every time we get a good setup, it works for others as well. I think it's cool the guy gets paid to test. Trey Canard did as well I believe, and I'm sure the money was well spent.

Tested for Honda. Did some things for Showa. Now he's helping with testing on the racing side with Husqvarna.

Talk about timing, I guess I should have waited a few hours to ask haha.
