How about 92.8 on that double 🤔

Supposedly so he can command it, but the problem is it was already average-ish due to shape at high-90s, so now it just sucks. https://bsky.app/profile/bighec22.bsky.social/post/3lortkzxn6s2v

Thought it was weird they spent spring trying to get the velo back when the criticism even in Japan was an unimpressive shape. Thought the plan would have been to settle into the mid 90’s so he could shape it.
