Jake Weimer says: "I really had no idea what to expect. For the first time in my career I was a free agent and didn’t know what to expect. I had high hopes, but ultimately it wasn’t going to be up to me where I landed for next season."As riders began to sign with various teams, Weimer became a part of the Monster Energy Kawasaki team alongside his close friend Ryan Villopoto.Jake Weimer says: "Not only was it a relief to finally get a deal done, but to be a part of such a successful program and work with Ryan is pretty much a dream come true."Thanks to the close ties between the Monster Energy Kawasaki and Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki programs, little change will be put on Weimer’s shoulders. Rather than having to adjust to a new manufacturer, new team, and new racing program, he simply makes the progressive step forward with a group of people he is already familiar working with.Jake Weimer says: "I think it will be a huge advantage to not have to go through much change other than riding a bigger bike.""I’ve worked with Mike Fisher (Kawasaki Team Manager) for a couple years now and I’ve spent time over at that truck. I’ve developed some good relationships at Kawasaki."What the future holds for Weimer’s rookie season remains to be seen, but all the pieces appear to be in place for the opportunity for him to succeed. With victories at the past two season openers to his credit, Weimer will look to make it three-in-a-row and get his premier class career off to a fast start at Anaheim 1.Jake Weimer says: "Supercross is definitely my strength and I have a lot of confidence in my ability.""The field is going to be stacked this Supercross season for sure, but you never know what can happen when the gate drops. I’ve gone back-to-back at Anaheim the last two seasons so obviously I’d like to keep that streak going."
