Did anyone notice a distinct change in Jo's riding style tonight? Recurring issues aside, it seems he's dialing into that casual loose standing, forward angled pogo stick, kangaroo tier form from you hoo?

I understand the question in your first sentence, the rest is confusing!

Fair enough; I'm prattling on. He seems to be the only one I've seen so far mimicking Jett's riding to the extent it's noticeable.  Could be wrong!

I feel like he's always kind of ridden like that but has been trending more in that direction. Around his second year on Kawi I started thinking he'll be a better 450 rider, which is said about a lot of guys but I think it's true in his case.

IMO his style hasn't changed, he's had a standing straight up, calm, loose style since superminis

If the way he rode over here a couple of years ago is any indication, I think you might be right. He looked really comfortable on a 450.

Watching him and smith in the heat race was bizarre. We had Jo with the calmest, most textbook riding style you could ask for, then we had Jordan who just sits down and twists the thing.
