I'm laughing a bit harder now.
I think he's good. And getting better. Is he top 5-Saratoga quality (or however else an "A" rider is so defined)? No, not yet.
I don't know many 23 year old riders who are especially savvy or who do not go through a period of having their inexperience exposed vs a very good group of riders.
He's better than Talamo, better than Rose, better than Mike Baze, better than Garcia.
He is no Norberto Arroyo.
