For me, Not really JMB.....All we had back then was magazines, and it sounded as if he was a sure thing for road racing. It sounded like he'd transition right into that. "Retirement" was not really the theme....

I felt like RC's retirement was a surprise since he was still on top. If not number one, he was top two.....

Bradshaw.

For me second would be RC, I was his biggest fanboy lol and was surprised and a little disappointed at the time.

Choosing mind altering substances over racing is not a retirement.

And breaking oneself in half every other week is not much of a shock when they retire.

Didn't Bradshaw have something like 9 wins in SX the year before he retired? And if I remember correctly, didn't a broken femur contribute to Turpin retiring?

Bro, he's not retiring, he's going to KTM. I already stamped it, it's pretty much a done deal. Try to keep up bro.

You must be close friends with Stroupe to know so much. You should really get over yourself. Sitting on the Internet saying such things is lower than a snake's belly.
