Monday Kickstart – Anaheim I SX 2012

Geico Honda's Eli Tomac discusses line strategy with his dad, John "The General" Tomac. Eli is noticeably more aggressive in 2012, and admits that he's, "back to win the championship that he was robbed of in 2011."

 

Tomac and his Geico Honda teammate Wil Hahn gave the new Alias MX gear its competition debut. Hahn and Tomac were definitely easy to spot from the stands, and the Geico-themed yellow-and-black gear was quite bold.

 

Once again, Kevin WIndham's Geico Honda is reported to be an absolute fire-breather, pumping out a powerband that would make mortal men cry.

 

The coating on Windham's factory Showa suspension is a unique whitish color, similar to that of the magnesium engine cases.

 

All of the Geico Hondas utilize a Brembo front brake master cylinder, which comes OEM on KTMs. The Brembo component is said to provide much-improved power and a better feel at the lever.

 

Pick Up Kits were out in full force at Angels Stadium!

 

JWR's Josh Grant is also wearing the new Alias MX riding gear.

 

Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg dropped by the JWR pits to check in on his friend Josh Grant. The two discussed JG's new Alias gear for a bit; perhaps Twitch was looking for feedback as he is launching his own line of gear, DBK, later this year.

 

Jeff Ward Racing's Kyle Chisholm has enlisted David Vuillemin top help him at the races with line selection and race strategies. Combine that with the knowledge and experience that Jeff Ward brings to the table, and Chiz is set for a great 2012!
