basis on how they’re feeling. We just adjust the schedule if needed, depending
on how they’re feeling. It just goes off the feedback. It’s kind of a tricky spot right

kind of the bittersweet of it. In the end, I’m still happy with the choice I made with
KTM. Right now, me and Randy, we’re friends. n
