“ I ’ m very excited to be walking into 2023 healthy and with a really good base in the off-season . I ’ m super excited to pick up a new series for this next year with West Hare Scrambles , going back to the old roots of what I grew up doing , while keeping the NGPC as the second series and jumping on a new re-vamped bike for the new season . I ’ m very excited to put that new R & D to work and start getting some wins and championships with those bikes . I ’ m feeling excited for the season and ready to kick it off !”
