Did you see Ward trying to restart his bike at the 2nd National? I'm an old thumper rider and unless the new Yz250f is different, you need to be slow and methodical making sure you get TDC before kicking those thumpers. He was kickin' away like he was on a 2 stoke. You would think a guy of that experience would make sure he was familiar with his equipment before trying to race in a National. I guess under race pressure, he reverted to his instincts to kick, kick ,kick as fast as you can......
Any YZ250F guys out there can verify this????
