Happy for the kid that he was able to land on PC. I really like the PC team this year, seems like a good group of dudes.

Do all the PC riders wear the Monster helmet?

I’m really rooting for this kid. Great style and technique. Seems like a perfect fit riding for Mitch. Excited to see what Mitch can do with him.

Young rider and mechanic that get to continue to wrok together. Nice.

I'm expecting Joe to be a bit more agressive and push onto the pofium much more often.
This is gonna be a Good Year.

French Shimodas trainer Kervella recently said that the PC Kawi is a lot better than the Geico Honda...

He should land on the podium this year and be a title threat on 2022. Smart from Mitch to pick him this year as this might be Forkner's last 250 season plus JSmith is a big ? for 2022

Wow he is 18 and his mechanic is 20. Talking about 2 kids living the dream.

As of right now, if Forkner gets more than the threshold (135 points) this season, 2021 will be his last year on 250s no matter what as he earned 137, 152, and 176 points in 2018, 2019, and 2020 and this year is his 4th and final season.

He might have to sit out some rounds if he's not in contention for the title. I don't see AC leaving Kawi and I don't see Kawi adding a 3rd bike to accommodate him.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I’m so happy on my 2021 KX250. It’s so easy to ride
