Yup....and JMB also. Used to always consider JMB most talented. Then I saw JS ride. Is JS the best at handling pressure, is JS the best at line selection, is JS the best at passing......NO, NO, and NO.
BUT.....for pure unadulterated speed on a dirt scoot there has never been any better.

Dungey put it to him, and I think he severely underestimated both his speed and determination. I think it deflated him and I don't think he wants to deal with that again this weekend. And he is going to wait until Southwick to come back? Not a great track to come back to even as much as he tears in the sand. I dunno man, something smells rotten in the state of Denmark here. I was truly hoping he would show up at Millville, throw down the best he could, and keep racing as long as there is nothing serious with his wrist. It sure didn't seem like it based on this video and what was said. Part time racer, part time results. Sorry, just my observation and opinion. I know he isn't getting paid from Suzuki, but he still gets paid to wear gear, he still gets paid plenty from his personal sponsors, no?
Lets start thinking outside the box for the MXON. Put Barcia on the big bike with Dungey and let Bagget run wild.
know that all the guys want to keep comp guessing............but when lebron tweaks an ankle there is shit the next 3 days about what that means for his next game..........
Is there really any doubt he tweaked his wrist at Colorado? Or that it's an issue now? Do you really need him to say that now (or, to the jackasses, make excuses)? You think he's got the same ability to go fast now without hindrance that he had when he handled Dugey for four straight motos? Seriously? He's already had a broken navicular bone in his wrist earlier in his career and dealt with the time it took to come back. If he's dinged, and he feels it's not ready, why ride? He's definitely pushed through pain before when there was a point to it; he gutted it out in serious pain at Colorado a few years ago when he was preserving points.
The fact is there are a class of assclowns who want him to fail and can't wait to pile on, either because they don't like him for some dumbass reason or because they are sick of people who think he's immortal. Heaven forbid anyone should give the cat the benefit of the doubt based on the facts.
He's already come through a wrist injury that has put people out of the sport, and you're going to second guess him on whether he feels its better or better not to ride with that right now? Do you realize how lost in the bullshit fantasy work of the internet that makes you look?
Sucks 2 be on the sidelines again but it's better then being on the sidelines 4 the rest of my life bc I won't listen 2 the ppl around me.

There's no doubt he'll be back on top, but I agree with most here that he sure is running low on excuses.
He is starting to remind me of Mike Tyson. He too used to be on top, then one day it all started to change and he just couldn't deal with being beat and started behaving weird out of pure frustration...Like biting someone's ear. Sometime you just have to suck it up and keep making progress.
I AM glad that he finished the 2nd moto and did much better and basically cruised to 3rd place. His problem is they give him too much flexibility with his contract so he can more or less decide on whim if he's up for racing or not.
Again - he needs to suck up like the rest of the guys out there. He eluded to this after the first moto, but electing not to race for a few rounds is just sad....Sad for him and sad for the sport. I was a supported, but I'm jumping on the bandwagon at this stage, mostly do to his actions and non-actions at this stage.

You realize he's not contracted to race this summer, right?
Do you think that Suzuki has no expectations and aren't spending money on his team to supports his efforts? Contract or not, there's a lot of ppl still involved to make it all happen and carry a paycheck.
The "strategy" is crumbling I have to admit.
James is also falling behind in bike set up. Dungey's KTM looked like it handled better than Dungey's RMZ from a year earlier ... while James' bike looked like its set up had gone backwards.
Common James, the sport needs you ...
JS7 won't finish both motos...
The rest Guyb said it best in my sig.
