I think he is a better rider on a 250. As far as the 450 goes, I see him as a 12-15th guy. IMO.

With all the work he is putting in, i would not be surprised to see him inside the top 10 though.

A top 10 would be a solid finish for sure. Im sure GuyB or someone at vital has more info, i saw Vital's insta comment on the pic.

It's Thursday and that bike is sitting in his shop in Southern California, I don't see it making it's way to Daytona. Wink Plus, I asked at San Diego if they would be doing any 450 east coast, I was told no.

I know for a fact he is doing atleast 2 outdoors on a 250. (i believe 250, but if it is 450 then 2 for sure as well)

I've heard that goofy rumor about him and J-Law doing some outdoors, I don't think it's true either. Once again, I asked at one of the rounds what the rest of the year's plans included, outdoors was not mentioned at that time.

I talked to J-Law about it and he said they are working stuff out, sounded pretty positive they were doing some though.

Big Hanny fan but he admittedly struggled with fitness this season. No way he makes top 10 at Daytona if he has to go 20 laps on a heavier bike.

I've heard that before, from the horses mouth... multiple times... I'll believe it when I see him on the line. Laughing

The only reason he didn't race in 2013 was because ARMA was going to provide the funds for his season and so he booked everything out and was good to go. Then at a national ARMA, who at the time sold there Energy SNACKS which were taurine coated peanuts; were giving them away and a kid ate them who was allergic to peanuts and died due to the reaction and so the parents sued ARMA and they could not/didn't provide the funds for JLAW to race in 2013.. Since then he lost hope in racing up until now.

His story sure has changed... how about the other two rides that were lined up for him before then that he failed to come through on?

I remember a Team in Europe had a Honda ready for him at some point and he didn't show up to race it. Not sure why.

That was the 1 and only story for 2013. (For a long time he was not able to say the reason due to ARMA keeping it on the down low)

Previous years, I'm not too sure of.

Of all races he definitely wouldn't do Daytona. You can take that to the bank.

He backed out on two previous deals before that.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with 2013. In 2013, he was legit and actually was prepared. He said anything before that was kinda a half assed program so he was bummed when 2013 did not work out.

My opinion, I don't think he was prepared in 13. I listened to him and Twitch pitching him racing Hangtown to someone who helped him in the past about how he was more prepared than he had ever been at any point in his racing career. Couple weeks later he showed up to the Pre-season media day at Lake Elsinore that Racer X/MX Sports put on, he wasn't even close to being ready...

Well according to him he was in shape and ready for 2013 lol. Either way, It didn't work out and who knows if this will work out.

Great sponsors that support him not just based around results, but around his marketability.

Fitness is not the problem, he's just in his own head.

The times he's fallen back this year look to be caused by him tightening up.
