American Ezra Hastings is racing in the British championship this weekend against some decent GP level riders in MX2 like Conrad Mewse, Dylan Walsh and more.

Where do you guys expect him to finish?

Read his thoughts on the experience and goals here.

Never heard of him, hopefully he puts in a solid performance. The British Championship is pretty competitive, I’ll look out for him on Sunday. The Heights does get pretty gnarly with nasty square edge bumps.

He's from Southern Indiana area and he rips, if he doesn't crash I'm guessing he can pull off a top ten at least, not sure on his conditioning, etc.

I recognize the name Ezra Hastings, but it's tough to imagine an A class rider going over there and doing too much damage in their home series. I'll predict a top 15 finish.

Has he ever raced as a pro in the US?
Just know that Geoff Jr is trying to set you all up if he gets smoked so he can tell us all how the British Championships are as competitive as the US Nationals....it's his MO...

Never heard of him.

The British championship is hardly stacked.

If he's inside the top 5, that's a good result to start!

I'd be impressed if he beats Mewse, Vaessen, Ostlund and co, though!

He’s picked a good track, it’s a mix of sandy sections with some harder parts, gets rutted and rough, I hope he does ok, fair play on him for giving it a shot, saw some footage of him on Instagram testing at Arncote near Bicester on a KXF250 and riding CR500...

Yes but we won't let that hinder us from drawing a direct comparison between the AMA elite and the GP's right ?

it's just a typical cast from a Geoff Jr.
