Going into the Daytona TT perhaps the favorite for the race win was JD Beach on the Yamaha.
Life begins at (almost) 60. Jeff Ward has ridden a variety of vehicles previously at Daytona including an MX bike, roadrace bike and cars. He was very last night fast in his return to TT racing.
Mr. Mees and his Indian teammates. While Indian won the Daytona TT, Mees had an uncharacteristic night of catastrophe with multiple crashes and his bike finally doing the “death smoke” in the main. Also, presumably that is the HEAVY rear wheel.
Near MotoGP level craftsmanship in dirt track. See it with your own eyes.
KTM is pushing into AFT with a singles class team in 2019 and rumors of a Twins team in 2020.
Perhaps the most shocking development last night was the sudden competitiveness of the Harley-Davidson. If Jarod Vanderkooi had started at the front he may well have finished on the podium.
At one point Mees’ Indian was upside down and he still made the Main.
