WTF is with you people. Name another racer that takes his fans out to dinner, invites them to his personally training compound,Supports amateur nationals. The guy cannot win.

Please remember he is a multi-time Supercross & National champion. He will always be remembered in the record books.
It’s just a shame to see his career go out like this. Other riders at this stage of their careers adapted their riding style, training, and/or bike set-ups to continue winning. While some refuse to listen it’s been stated over and over that it’s his bike set-up that is the problem. He got away with it for years but he has grown older and it does not work now. He has always been a crasher, but in his younger days he got away with it enough to win races & titles. It seems by his results the last few years those days are behind him. He can blame it on one team or another, then the bike but at the heart of the issue is his refusal to change/adapt.
Maybe he is just won too much to listen to good advise anymore. Fame and success at such a young age, huge money, etc.
Regardless, thanks for the personal attacks, I appreciate it. By the way, I'm not the one that made a big deal about the grammar. I noticed it but I knew what you meant and didn't feel the need to bring it up. My response defending myself was not a dig at you - maybe I needed the sarcasm emoticon SENSE umagumadog's reply had nothing to do with this topic.
Can we move on now?
And while James has not "lost" (he will still pull in several million dollars), he seems to have developed the "Alessi Syndrome", where organizations have difficulty dealing with the star talent. James has a "nice guy" reputation, but going dark on your boss does not endear you to potential employers.
The pressure isn't on Yamaha, Toyota, or JGR; it's on James. His success on the next bike does not definitively prove that the Yamaha is a bad bike. (I'd be interested to understand his impact on total sales.). However, if James' SX performance continues in MX, then a multitude of eyebrows will raise in unison.
As for the OP's question, JS7 loses the most.
