Contract starts at Glen Helen. No idea why.

I am guessing that it would give him another week of testing, I don't think he has much seat time on the factory bike

Said on pulp that they gave him an extra week to get his wrist sorted and that he'd start racing for them at Glen Helen

Was off pace at test track, giving him some more seat time. Hopefully he finds speed

I don't understand why they gave him a ride.

15-20 next weekend is my guess. He was 10 sec off Plessingers pace at track last week ?

The guy deserves the ride. He interacts well with fans and is likeable, work ethic over the last few years has been stellar, he’ll be in the mix. 12-15 at GH. He’s a racer and competitor.

After all this is a business and his SX main events come significantly cheaper than any other A lister. This is Yamaha grooming a consistent back up rider. Who do you want to cheer for? The guys who have had multiple opportunities on the best bikes? Or the Cinderella story of a great guy who will turn some heads?

He's a likeable guy, hard working, has a fan base, has speed and their current other rider is injured. It's an amazing opportunity that 99% of people love to see. A privateer guy getting a shot at a factory ride, even if it is just for a few rounds.

LOL yeah that guy who finished in 11th today is a nobody, number 94 can't be that fast that is a high two digit number Laughing

Ken Who?

Those kind of posts make me laugh, making the top 40 is bad ass, finishing inside the 20 means you are crazy fast on a dirt cycle.

Sure not everybody is a freak like Tomac, Marv, Anderson, Barcia, Ken when healthy and a few others, but all the guys out there haul the mail.

I picked him for Fanasty, changed him for Bogle when heard he wasn’t riding. I need to take more notice as well .
