to the SLR Honda squad recently, he only got his
Skechers/STI Tires/Fast House CRF450RX on
Monday, and the lack of testing proved to be an
insurmountable handicap, as he sank to 16th Pro.
"It was a rough day to say the least," he said.
"Unfortunately, just for myself, the lack of getting a
motorcycle ready and feeling comfortable [on it], I
was so far off today. We knew this was going to be a
difficult day—we just have some getting to do. I know
I came from a Honda—that's very apparent—but
there's also a lot of different things within team spon-
sors and stuff like that. There's a lot of new parts on
the motorcycle and it's just not what I'm used to."
