Tearing down a factory Suzuki shock and other antics have blacklisted Mike. As we know now, Tony is totally whacko and Mike not breaking away from that is his worst decision, on track or off.
Mike should have had real professionals manage his career and not his nutty dad.

But anyway, it would be the same, RC stated his opinion about Alessi and he would be doing the same if he had said it about JS7. Nothing more.
Don't you agree?
Had James not crashed as much, he could have easily had many more titles.
When James came up from the 125...he had the 'potential' to pass every SX record there was.
Pit Row
I'll let you decide which circumstance 7 won in.
There will be some who argue that JS7 hasn't met his potential either but by comparison........he shines.
A fair statement by RC even if it was made when emotions were running high.
Hypothetical SX situation:
-RC at his best.
-RV at his best
-Chad at his best
-James at his best
-McGrath at his best
All on equal equipment, dialed and set up for them, for that night. Who wins?
I am sure the each rider would get some votes, but we all know who would win that poll in SX. That would be James....probably McGrath 2nd. The very thing that has him being THAT guy...is the very same thing that cost him championships.
Would the sport have been better off if James had always taken the long view and ridden for championships? I dont think so. Could he have won more titles....probably. Gotten more wins...certainly as he would have been out less from injuries. But the sport would have been a lot less exciting for it. James being who is, how he approached racing, added a lot to the sport. Love him...hate him...he made things exciting. So I think the whole question of "living up to potential" to be a red herring.
"Holy crap did you see Stewart crash.... but man Ive never seen anyone go that fast."
If RC says that about MA what does he say about the 2 riders parked under his tent, as for RC running to the Officials, well he is in the right team of sooks for that real Hardcore Sooks.
Says a lot about his ability to set a bike up for another rider when he has more opportunity with his connections than anyone else riding Suzuki. At least he has shut up like MC regarding Reedy biting off more than he could chew, Reedy is well hung RC and his team need to grow some balls. Last week was the first time I have seen Tickle show consistent speed, didn't take long.
Lets look at the Noobs post.
1/ saying he is too overweight and needs to lose weight as health issues will follow and impact big time on him but more on his Family as well .Fact.
2/ His ability in the booth to be impartial and to just do his work is not up to KW. Fact IMO.
3/ If he says Mike hasn't live up to his ability, what does that say about the hiring of Tickle and Hill, Both smoked by Mossy on a STOCK bike. Just like to hear his comment, does he agree with Pink or what he said about Tickle on a broadcast. If he was going any slower he would fall over. Fact
4/ How long has he been associated with the Team, I remember him saying how they had been working on this and that with the team etc testing this week. He does get access to better equipment than others Fact.
5/ Along with the Honda Test rider / Adviser ( he should be paying Honda the way they are going) bagged Reedy out regarding him starting his own team and didn't know what he was getting into.
You have a good day Boss and smile sometime. Just friendly advice.
