I'm excited FOR Brandon and hope the whole team uses this season to trial their skills against a talented org of riders/techs - nobody can expect a miraculous outcome in the rookie year at a higher level of racing, but everyone can surely hope for it. Hell, a mech failure is common in ALL classes of racing at ANY level of professionalism.....shit happens, its inevitable. Hopefully he does race MidO, I'd like to meet him and the crew to personally wish them luck, all prior bullshit aside. As for KTM-Brian, I'd take his advice any day of the week - actual, and factual experience from a race winner is something of value in my book......but, to each his own
