Ben will need to lose some weight for sure to really be up there at the front I think, there is a reason there are no 160lb jockies around. Ten pounds wouldbe easy, 15 maybe. Nicky lost some weight and Mladin went down a size or 2 to keep up with Ben in AMA. He has the skill for sure and should be a great season fighting Nicky and Collin for fifth with some podiums when the little guys up front bin it.
Apparently, Stoners team has been doing the same pre race routine for the last 2 yrs and for some unknown reason, he went out on cold tires??? Me thinks someone mucked up.

Oh ... so maybe not just a unfortunate mistake by Stoner. Lucky he was not hurt.
