AUSTIN FORKNER
Diving in to his rookie season, the sensational Austin Forkner has continued into the professional rankings with a certain flare that few before him have executed. He’s done well, he’s challenged the class’s top contenders and has only finished outside the top ten twice through the first eight moto’s of the season; a feat even most veterans
aren’t able to claim. He’s gotten consistent starts, qualified well and avoided the usual rookie mistakes that are expected in the first few races. The Missourian has all but taken this year by storm with his impressive riding and should be able to maintain his place in the echelon of moto riders for the time being before advancing on as his destiny leads us to believe he will. This kid is for real and being the youngest rider on the circuit, he has already posted two top five finishes through four rounds and appears prepared for eight more battles in route to his first full season of outdoor action.
