Jimmy’s Prediction: This combination are experienced campaigners. Frankie and “Fric” have been going well over the past couple of years, and they are ready for a four-star challenge. Riders making the trek to Rolex from the West Coast are usually somewhat startled by the intensity and quality of the competition here. This pair should go well here, but they will finish behind more experienced performers.
