I'm hoping for Top 5. Jimmy will give it his all on the track. Good to see him get the chance.

Jimmy has been riding.

First week in the mix I think a solid qualifier and top 15 would be good.
After a couple races I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the top 10 or even the top 5.

He is going to be a fan favorite I would bet which will get the Geico/FC squad a little extra PR

He got top 5 as a fulllll on privateer, I think with Geico he can be there right away. I have a feeling he'll be 7th-11th.

I am firmly on the Jimmy D band wagon and I was stoked to see him get that top 5 but that was near the end of the series last year.
When he got out front in that heat race last year at round 1 my son and I were standing up and screaming at the TV......lol.

I think he will have a little adjustment time for the bike so I am being conservative in my prediction for Phoenix.

I will definitely be pulling for him to be in at the front of the pack and if he gets top 10 we will be cheering right along with you.

I think it's obvious from all my videos that I'm on the Jimmy D Band Wagon as well. The little time to adjust to the big makes it hard to predict how he will do. I feel like a top 10 is in his reach for sure, if not this week, then the next. I'm hoping to see another top 5 as well. Good thing about Jimmy is he wants it, bad. So we'll see him fighting for it for sure.

If he's a top 5 kid why didn't he get a ride for a1?

Why doesn't Christophe Pourcel have a ride? Why did CR22 need to start his own team?

Sometimes the cards dont fall in the right place at the right time.

CP knows first hand the horrors of the sport, and has money already in the bank, so I'm sure he has no problem not risking his walking ability for money he feels is not worth it. And as Reed said in his last podcast "everybody has a price in their mind"... well it wasn't worth it for Reed just like Pourcel, but Reed chose to go it alone... and hope the investment pays. Jimmy D on the other hand cannot start a team as he doesn't have the resources Reed has, nor can he sit out cause he doesn't have the money or resume (or maybe talent, but we'll see) that CP has... yet still he wasn't riding A1... which makes me think that it wasn't a case of Jimmy not getting the money he was looking for, but rather not even getting a ride at all.... which makes me think the teams don't see him as valuable as the riders they chose... which would make it all the more surprising to see him in the top 5... or the top ten...

Jimmy is a young guy that has been racing a privateer effort because he didn't get offered a ride that he wanted to take.
He is lucky enough to have his family behind him and to have enough resources and support to do that.

There are very few spots to be had on factory or good satellite teams and when I spoke with Jimmy last year for an interview after the SX season he said he would rather do it on his own than take just any ride for the sake of being with a team.

Don't forget that this is the kid who got out in front of Pourcel and Barcia at round 1 last year, put it into every main event and then grabbed a top 5 finish all on a straight up privateer bike.
That took some skill.

Do you really think that the folks at Geico/FC Honda would have offered him the ride if they didn't think he had some serious skills?

So 13th in timed qualifying with a 52 second lap is not a bad way to start the night off.....

Go Jimmy!!!!!
