Great to see him back out there, but it Looks like he’s in first gear.

its probably his first week on the bike, and were like 3 months out from A1. Give buddy some time before we criticize his speed 🤦‍♂️😂

I don't care if he wins a title, I just hope he stays healthy and gets through the whole year. Racing is better when he's out there.

Think of the mental fortitude he must have to contine with this sport, after the last season and all of the other ones that came before. He must be scared to death!

Remember riding with him at Elsinore in mid 2023 when he was recovering. Spent a lot of the day on the vet track. Pounding out smoooootthhhhh laps, each one a little quicker than the last. Must just be his style to come back 1/10 second at a time. His 2024 SX speed didn’t seem to mind that he came back slowly…

I suspect Jordan and Jalek west and Forkner and Stiles out east.

He’s not up to speed there, but for all we know those are literally his first laps on the new bike.

I hope he has a great year.

The part about missing the PC bike could be true down the road but good for him to change things up and start fresh.  Smart move all in all.

The SMX broadcast crew should really do a segment called "Vital Voices" where they get some of the experts from this forum to give expertise and setup tips to the pros. Clearly some of you can even do it off of sound!

You guys crack me up. I know he’s fast, but the bike barely made that on/off.

I said 10 weeks away...accurate. Can't believe I need to indulge on proving my statement.

The fact that you went out of you way to post this made me downvote it. Happy holidays

But your own screenshot says 10 weeks and 2 days. That makes your original statement false.

Yeah but 2024 is a leap year so we need to factor that in somehow.
