Another one of his riders gets the top spot. Not many out there that can spot talent like him. Almost as good as Roger.

Congrats to Larry and his Team

Not even close to Roger. He has signed 2 of the best of all time at the peaks of their careers, and now a veteran of the class known for getting top 5-7 results, that is nothing like picking a random B class rider and making him 1 of the 2 best riders in the world. All the stars aligned for Short today, and deservedly so, but I doubt even Brooks, in all of his craziness, would ever expect a win out of Short this season. Regardless of my negativity however, CONGRATS SHORTY!

Brooks is a awesome team manager....
Happy for him,Shorty & his new team.
I think winning a main this year succeeded his expectations (that is going by interviews of LB during the off season).
Very cool!

Reed's growth as human is unreal. He is taking life head on..... I am huge fan.

Some break ups end ugly.... does not mean the relationship is dead forever.

Decoster is the GOAT of MX Management.

With that said: Payton, Brooks, Kehoe, Arnold have a hell of a resume.

If Brooks was a super manager Shorty would have been at the last four races instead of the last two.

He usually saves his Mr Miyagi powers for when he is in a title hunt. Smile

Well, he did do something that no other manager, including Roger, was able to do. Not to mention a certain someones results before and after his split up.

Say what you want about Larry, but when He is in he is all in and his results attest to it.

Larry pushes people he demands excellence. McGrath is no slouch himself and he knows that Honda. It's a shame what is happening with their sponsors.

I think it has something to do with lasik surgery. Every since the surgery, Brooks has had this very intense look on his face. Kind of creepy really. What do you have against glasses, Larry?

To me, Brooks had a huge 'the team has no money to pay the win bonus' look on his face.
