Are you saying that you feel that Josh really should return to the the team since you guys hired him when he was down?
I mean he thanks you profusely every chance he gets so clearly he understands what a good opportunity he got when you hired him to ride for the L&M team.
Nice avatar by the way....Freudian slip?
LB didn't attend Phoenix podium, but called Matthes Motoshow and apologized to Josh. He wasn't upset at the least by it.
Both sure acted as they liked each other plenty.
Enjoyable series so far in both classes for sure!
Go Hill.

My question is more about this;
"Sometimes the rider remembers who and what got them to the top, but there are other times they just forget how or who turned their career around and they sign a contract with another team."
I am just wondering if LB thinks that Josh really should re-sign with the team since undeniably going to L&M has been a great boost for Josh when he really needed it.
Or perhaps Larry is referring to a rider that used to be on the L&M squad but signed with "another team" last year......just curious, that's my nature.
I agree also that the series has been great so far, exciting and unpredictable in the 450's and great racing in the 250's.
Also, hopefully he gets his family sutff straightened out.

Hill has definitely been an awesome investment for L&M, likewise it has been a tremendous fit for Josh.
I also understand the price/budget thing, heck if someone offered me big bucks to make a move my loyalty might be affected.
As you said just business.
Again it is really only this statement that has me curious;
"Sometimes the rider remembers who and what got them to the top, but there are other times they just forget how or who turned their career around and they sign a contract with another team."
That seems like a very direct statement about loyalty, whether it is directed at Josh or a previous L&M rider.
I'm just curious to know who Larry was referring to that's all.....no biggie.
Kind of odd how Looped Out shows up in threads about L&M riders, does a press release and then Poof!!
Just sayin.
I have never once heard anyone say anything but kind words about Josh and his family. If anyone needs to get F'd its you Phlewy. Your the kook in here. Please go back to your hole and hide and dont come back.
As for Josh, it he continues to do what he needs to do he will have plenty of options come Vegas SX. The most important thing is to stay focused on the task ahead. With nearly every ride available out there next year besides RD's ride, then the sky's the limit. You just have to get there first.
My read on him is, he doesn't do well with external pressure. He's doing good now & he's self motivated, add a high pressure team (which Honda is known for) & the kid will just break down. The people who succeed @ Honda, are the ones who are so self motivated & determined, that they almost have blinders to the teams intensity. Stanton, RC, Bailey, Omara come to mind.
Guys that lack the intensity or need a little direction, even if they're super talented - don't succeed or don't last there. Shiek, Bayle, Milsaps, Tadesco, Hill??
But then "Puss" actually means "Kiss" in Swedish... was that what you were going for?
HaHa!

Although in all fairness Larr....err "looped" is probably busy getting the team ready for San Fran.
Guess we will have to wait for the next press release.
Post a reply to: Josh Hill next year............
