    This kid put in a lot of work to get himself ready for pro Supercross. Had heard early on his lap times were 8 to 9 seconds slower than his teammates. The biggest difficulty being the whoops. Hats off to Joe though because he figured out the whoops and got his lap times right where they need to be.

    Joe, it is our countrys custom to offer up one our monster energy girls as a token of our gratitude and a way to help rookie SX'ers relax before motos. It is my hope that Gieco Honda still adheres to one of our nations most treasured customs. Good luck Joe, you seem like a really good dude and i do hope you hit all your marks and reach all of NEW goals now that you are a FACTORY Rider!!! Awesome job, keep it up and out work everybody!

    Met Jo at Loretta’s last year and talked to him in the pits before his race, he’s such a calm and chill guy. Next day saw him riding his bike warming up in the morning. Such a cool and dedicated racer. I’ll be watching him for the years to come. I can’t wait to see him win some titles and championship. Let’s goooo Jo!!!!!
