Any word on whether Mike Williamson will continue with RV or will he be stepping away from being a team mechanic. He
had mentioned in the past it was becoming too much of a burden on family life being on the road.

Last I heard, he had no plans to follow to Europe.

That's too bad I'd think RV is gonna miss him but I hope he has a good team to support him in the GP's. Williamson seemed like a real good person and friend for RV during his championships.

With all the traveling to and from, those guys probably average minimum wage. Hope those guys winning championships are big tippers! Smile

Maybe Gibby can shed some light on mechanic pay, who has been a top paid wrench and which riders and or teams paid bonuses for championships.

No doubt. Some of those guys you see out there you can tell are stressing and others are calm, cool and collected. They've been at it a while and seem to have the circus schedule down pat.

I thought I read (or saw) something that he would be Davi's new mechanic.

Pulpcast just now with Weege and JT, Matthes said Aldon had confirmed if RV goes then he'll be working with him, so that's good. It'd probably help if Williams was going but he's got a family too, totally understandable.

It does look like RV is doing it right tho!
