Does anyone else think that the team suspending him was a slick PR move? If you think about t it made them look really good in the eyes of the AMA and the fan, but was it just to make it so they had a reason for more time to test since they started late? Just a thought

I thought this was going to be about if Hansen is having trouble setting up his air forks like RV and Reed...sheesh.

You mean it's not about Hansen's air forks?

Title says suspension, the post talks about them needing more testing and he runs air forks.

Sounds like a "Hansen's air forks suck" thread to me!

Exactly. Based on the specks of information so graciously given to us by the moto-media, it sounds like this "deal" was suuuper last minute. Taking a week off to prepare and conserve resources, while also appeasing the haters, seems like an excellent plan.

A team benching their only rider as a punishment to him? BS

Yeah, Ray ran his leg into Hansen's wheel. Ray's bike would would have had to have been like the magic bullet that killed JFK. That's why the AMA officials that saw it fined Hansen.

Told you guys the real reason he didn't race.

Josh Hansen (@joshhansen100) tweeted at 7:40 AM on Wed, Jan 16, 2013:
Flu has caught me.

Slick PR alright:
1. Sending a racer to anger management is only gonna make him a pussy racer, I can almost guarantee Hanny is not actually going to anger management classes.
2. Their bike probably needed more development
3. As someone mentioned above Hanny said in a tweet that he had the flu.
4. They concocted a story that would get air time and get talked about, next

His suspension was bullshit. There is no team, no sponsors he is obligated to represent at races. One rich guy is footing the bill. Hanny said he's just going to choose what rounds he wants to race.

Hanny has a job most of us all dream of and he cant even handle doing it part time. I bet he races 4 rounds. A1,A2,A3 and Vegas.

Man I thought I was a Vitard! You guys really think a rock and roll drummer an a complete DOOSH like twitch care if Hanny rams someone? Oh yeah Twitch is a classy dude, just look at what he said to DC! Hanny was sick and missed a race period. And mow he is tweeting about it so when he don't make the main, he will have an excuse
