Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I thought he was linked to Triumph? 
Casey Cochran is racing B classes, damn I thought he would be in the pro sport class!

Well… Triumph does not have a bike ready for him, so I don’t see a problem with it. 
Cochran is still eligible for the B class, he’s hoping for a championship before moving up.

What's the odds triumph isn't ready for 2023?? That's going screw over a few riders.

The bike will be ready. Lots and lots of testing has already been done on the bike over here and across Europe. It's solid from all accounts. Obviously Evan wouldn't be the one to debut it at LL so I don't see the issue with him riding GasGas till his Triumph contract begins

Yeah his contract with Triumph is for 2024....it's still 2023 last I checked...And it has been mentioned multiple times on the TV broadcasts that Cochran is B rider racing in the futures and combine...

Did he get injured at the wrong time or what? He was on the radar for up-and-coming and then just disappeared seems like.

Casey Cochran racing B class is why when I tell someone that I used to race "B" class I say: "I was a local mid pack B guy, not a Lorettas B guy."

That was my point, has been MIA then all of a sudden shows up at LL on GAS GAS. I didn’t expect him to debut the Triumph at LL like all these knuckleheads thought.🙄 I don’t know why he left Husky in the first place.

as far as Cochran, I know he raced the futures and combines as a B rider, he smoked the A riders in SX and MX, so I just assumed he would move up at LL.

He did two area qualifiers and the regional qualifier. He was on a blacked-out Yamaha, and now he's on a blacked-out GasGas. I think he can ride whatever brand he wants to keep getting gate drops until the Triumph goes public.

Yeah I know he had to do at least one area and the regional for Loretta's but it seems like his whole year has revolved around just getting to One race I haven't heard much about him

He knew he was going to Triumph when he left husky, everything since has just been a place holder for when the Triumph bike is ready

I think his training is veiled in secrecy due to the constant presence of certain prototype motorcycles. He's in a really unique situation signing with a team that doesn't have a production motorcycle yet.

I'm shocked we are this close to the bike being ready and other than one very blurry photo (that's not even confirmed to be the actual bike) there has been nothing leaked on this bike.  Cudos to Triumph for accomplishing that in a day and age where just about every person that lives has a pretty good camera sitting in their pocket and endless ways to get it on the internet.

This!!!!

The past year Evan has really been all over the place. I figured with a an ex top pro for a father, he would get in good with one of the manufactures and work his way through the ranks. Him already being a journeyman doesn't bode well for his career IMO.
