agreed. I like watching that kid race.

I don't know the numbering system, but if he is a rookie, how come he has a 2 digit number?

Gave Moose-Can his money's worth and then some, for sure.

And even though he raced the last few Nationals last year, in my mind a rider is still a rookie until they complete their first full pro season. Remarkably, many people would argue this.

Really? I've never heard that argument.

I feel you could say he came in at a disadvantage compared to Webb who was able to focus only on MX, as Martin raced SX poduimed and got hurt. Not taking anything away from any of them. You can't judge them on one year, but those two guys get all the hype while Jeremy is in 7th in the points.

AC is finding out hes amongst some fast company, he even admits it. Martin is being overlooked for sure. Cant quite figure out where all the hoopla comes from, especially for Webb. He has shown great promise but the commentators need to focus on what and who is at the front. AC should not even be talked about until he gets there, which im sure he will. I love all these kids and life isnt fair so lets try to give whoever is shining at the time his 30+2 time in the spot light. Im sure their sponsors would like it. ("grow the sport")

It's fair to call Martin a rookie and that 3rd overall was very impressive,and some of Webb's rides.I've said before that deep down that ACinc must be a bit disappointed with his results,I'm not saying it's his fault but with a record Amateur career,million $$ backing,multi year PC deal,etc there has been far too much talk,and hype and media about the kid for such a long time now,even though he's only 17 years in 3 months or so and it's probably not going to stop for a good while,it's likely most people would lead him into assuming he's going to be THE next RC of Bubba,I hope he doesn't get demoralised in any way if other rookies are beating him,just learns from it

That's sadly the way of the world these days Sad

Didn't see the race, but by looking at results how was AC behind KROC unless he was lapped. No disrespect on AC, I love that kid just wondering

I have never over looked Jeremy Martin. He did great in SX and continues to impress. Im happy to see him get on the box.

Martin is having a great rookie season. I'm really surprised how he is being overlooked by almost everyone.
