I don’t think the battery would make the entire main in this slop.

I feel you, pretty frustrating when you pick a sure-fire guy like RJ and he ends up going down due to no fault of his own

RJ and Thrasher for me Whistling

If the battery holds up, probably better. No intake. No clutch.

Probably not great. Are they already significantly heavier than the average ICE bike?

I don’t think he had any pressure it’s only the second race.

Ironman 2023 for example. Said he was just tryna ride for fun. Obviously he wants to do good, but I don’t know if it means everything to him like the others.
its interesting actually, I’ve done a bunch of reading into Shimoda background, he always seemed like an enigma to me

In his podcast with Gypsy, he basically said he’s never loved riding. In his words, He never woke up and wanted to ride. He just does it because he’s good at it and his Dad really wanted him to. He’s stated that he’s just trying to ride a couple years retire by age 28 and go back to Japan. He said he’s never really watched the sport either. I think collectively, you can see from his instagram and his videos he’s usually pretty carefree with his training. He eats McDonald’s throughout the season, clearly doesn’t work out much hence why he’s so skinny, and lack the racecraft probably bc he doesn’t rlly watch the sport

I love AP7. But they say it’s a part of his “identity”, does anyone else remember him before he added in the “cowboy” theme and didn’t have the accent?
