I believe you are correct. ;) With all athletes it sometimes takes the right coach to make things click. It’s far to early to get too fired up, but I’m pulling for this kid in a big way. I’ve been following him on IG since last season, and he seems to have his head screwed on right.

Is Joe Roberts related to Kenny Roberts?
Great race! Strong work by Joe, and lots of knowledge gained. Nagashima was on rails in the later part of the race. :o

Joe did a good job. He was in it the whole way, and rode a smart race. I think his gamble on the hard tire worked against him.
I believe Tetsu did the fastest lap of the race on the penultimate lap...1:59.2. :o
Yeah he did. That was an awesome lap! [bow_down]
He didn't even say goodbye, he just left town.

Both were excellent races with no clear winner in either until right at the end of each race. Just like it ought to be. I should have been watching far more of these lower class races in the past and will just have to expand the "Saturday Night at the Races" time frame to include them now.
