Branden Jesseman Joins Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki 1

At the Friday Press Day before A3, Branden Jesseman was introduced as the East Coast Lites replacement for the injured Christophe Pourcel at Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki. At the interview podium, Jesseman said, “I feel really honored to ride for Mitch Payton on his bikes. I’m grateful and hopefully I can do well for him.” Branden has spent about a week-and-a-half on the bike, says testing is going well, and that, “I’m definitely more prepared for this season than any season so far.”

Branden also has some lofty goals for himself, saying, “I expect myself to be on the box every weekend. If I’m not I feel I’d be very much a disappointment.
