Vance and Hines Ducati rider John Kocinski is in Colorado, live and in person, at Pikes Peak.
The Arkansas rider now living in California appeared to be in good spirits. "I'm here at a new track, ready to have a big weekend," said John this afternoon. "The bike is feeling good and I am ready to race."

There had been some speculation Kocinski would be a no-show for this event after comments he made at Brainerd.
