Jamison Duclos This Rock River Powersports Amateur rider also has a full plate on his hands: high school, working part time, all the usual activities that go on at that age and Loretta’s qualifiers. The #23 is actually at a qualifier as I type this. Jamison has been a long time client and it’s been cool seeing him grow up, getting through all the trials and tribulations along the way.

The weather over the winter and spring was super challenging as Jason has dealt with apocalyptic snows and rain (which I guess is normal for Switzerland) by driving to Italy often to get riding and enjoy some outdoor training.

Keep it up across the big pond Jason! Yours truly doesn’t have any specific goals currently other than remaining fit and healthy so I can ke
