his experience is priceless for this team. I have been training on
Supercross for a while now, so to have even more time before east coast
starts will be great! I'm pumped about racing on KTM next year as well
because I believe it is the best 250F out of the crate and it will be
good to start from something that is already impressive”… says Jimmy.
