First thing's first..... two big thank you's to Peter Kates and Mike Kurtz.
As some of you may already know, Pete's been helping me with my new Ktech suspension. 25mm cartridge kit up front and their 35dds pro shock in the back. We gambled with spring rates for the shock (much softer than with my Ohlins) but thus far it's been working great. Front end feels amazing as well. Hopefully we can keep making little tweaks to get it working even better than it has, but I can't imagine it being any better. It's been phenomenal.
Mike's also been a huge help, making sure I have what I need to run up front with the big boys and give that #1 plate some headaches. The Supercorsa V2's have been excellent as always and they make a great pair w/ the Ktech suspension. Some of you guys may know Joel Allen, who used to be a DIEHARD Dunlop guy who was always trying to get me to try them out, recently made the jump to Pirelli and he's been riding amazingly well. If you haven't given them a shot yet, I highly recommend it. The V2's are amazing.
Thank you both so much for your help. I can't imagine having a better chassis combo.
As for the races weekend, I had three great races. LWGP (finished 3rd), LWSS (finished 2nd) and LWSB (finished 4th) were all tight and hard fought. Watching the film again, the guys I'm up against were all riding very well... so many GUTSY side-by-side moments, attacks and immediate counter-attacks, little mistakes and excellent recoveries... and the whole season's been like that that. Ricky, Scotty, Jesse, they've all been on fire and the points standings with 3 rounds left is CRAZY close...

These class championships are by no means settled. I think it's all gonna come down to who bobbles first. Anything can happen.
Again, huge thanks to Pete & Mike but also my teammates and the rest of the TTD staff who all keep me focused and thinking about my riding, everyone in the whole LRRS community for keeping me relaxed & having fun... and of course my awesome girlfriend who sent me some good luck from Miami before leaving for The Bahamas.
