250 riders ride stock 450s for practice on outdoors for reliability.

His time on 250’s is over indoors or out if he had the freedom to choose. He’s been a 450 rider for a long time coming.

Crazy, that was 9 years ago and probably when Craig's stocks were at their highest in terms of earning at 450 ride and Jett Lawrence was 7 years old. But here they are as team mates on 250's.

It's not a dig at Craig, more of an observation really.

And he’s geicos best shot at a 250 outdoor title, I don’t see why they would put him on a 450 instead.

ive heard hes doing his own 450 program.. hes working on some stuff from what ive heard..

It makes much more sense for him to be on the 450.. he should have been on one the last 3 years but hes had weird injuries.. and now all the 450 rides are locked up..

I think he will do better on a private team but with Factory service equipment. Mainly requiring factory suspension and tuner.. thats the biggest problem that privateers face.. (well and their ability to Test due to insufficient funds)

I agree that Craig should have left the 250s after he filled in for Roczen in 2017 and then again in 2018. His riding style and his age are much more suited to the 450. I know guys are going to to go where the money is and for him it has been the Geico 250 ride that has given him a contract, but his results on the 450 from 2017 onwards have been better than the 250.

Maybe they’re shaking out the 450 program for JMART next year. Remember FC started out as a big bore team, only recently became 250 only

I think they had Bogle on one in 16. So the last three years they haven’t had a 450 guy.

When J. Mart raced Daytona and then the following year a few west coast SX in the 450 class was he on a Geico bike or HRC?

J mart filled in for HRC for the Daytona race I believe. And the following year for a1, a2 and Houston I think was under the Gieco graphics.
