I wouldn't describe it in those terms. Seemed like one poster was having a bad day and got a little testy. I've heard some rumors which, if true, would create some doubt in the eyes of potential sponsors. I'm curious to know what the reasons were that resulted in Geico deciding not to put something together for Malcolm, as I'm sure many others are. Careers in this sport are short enough without poor decision making . I can't help but think that Malcolm could benefit from some sound outside advice about the direction his racing career is taking, and the best way to reverse the trend of the past year. If he doesn't have an agent, other than pops, maybe now would be a good time to find one.
I was just teasing, believe me! But I believe your last sentence might sum up the bulk of Malcolm's troubles getting a ride...and could possibly be an issue with James' as well. Just speculation...

Hard to believe anyone coming off a championship doesn't have a guaranteed ride on a top team.

The Vitards here that dont think MS dose not deserve a bike might not be looking at the big picture. Its a sign the sport is not healthy. The picture is not too rosy for the up and coming rider is it?

The other point is purely selfish. I want the races to be more interesting. That means I want more "mid pack" guys to have the best bikes and support to make it more interesting for ME to to watch. I also want JS7 on the line because it is more entertaining for ME to watch.

Bullshit that Feld, the big 6 manufactures, and all the people that have big money dont see it profitable to pay these guys what they are worth.

Its all about that ROI. Surely they know how to do math to figure out if it's worth it.

Why do people think Malcolm is so deserving of a 450 ride? I am an investor and I would never consider investing in Malcolm. Even with a factory machine, we can say "mid-pack".....not worthy. Same with Wilson. Mid pack will not get you sponsored (obviously).

On the other hand, I would invest into James. He is an icon in this sport, no matter what anybody thinks.

Riders are replaceable. Icons are not.

And for the people that claim drugs are the issue, get a grip!

I typically go to 8 or 9 supercross events each year. Without James on the line, I will go to 0 events. This industry has been taken over by a circus (literally) and it is becoming a reality more and more each year.

Feld need a competitor!!!

Pretty simple.....No ride for James = $0 of my money.

Feld is slowly ruining this sport. I won't put any more of my money into it....my choice.

Feld needs a competitor! FIM needs to be gone!

There needs to be a riders union and several other changes for the future of the sport.

The industry is suffering because it is far too top heavy.

So you are not a fan of the sport?, only a fanboy. So when he retires you won't watch another race.

It's James own fault he has no ride this year; not Feld, not the FIM, not WADA... It's all up to James...

If you think that competition is going to improve the situation, you definitely aren't the "investor" you think you are!

Look at what that did to other motor sports like Indy car. Or even AX for that matter, a series that is still a glimmer of what it was at its peak when "competition" split it in two. Only irreparable damage would come from a competitor series.

There is a power and $ imbalance between the riders and the series, but that isn't the fix.

i can see him around 5th or so. Not having a ride is ridiculous. You got guys like Tickle on a factory bike! That's so ridiculous! That's a mid pack rider. I'm starting to think he has somthing on RC, how else can he keep getting a ride with them?

Contradict much? You're all over the place and it's clear you have no idea what your talking about.

Get on your ti quad, safely attach your lanyard, and hit the dunes where people will pretend to understand you.

No, I will still watch. I was involved for years but....now gone (along with many others). It is more like the last straw for attending. The current system is corrupt and will no longer get any of my hard earned money....that's my only power, which means nothing as one person.

Feld needs a competitor. It's a monopoly.

In the meantime, life goes on!!!

Kzizok, once you get old and wise you will be able to deny sponsorship of midpack riders while complaining the sport is too top heavy.

There are 20 guys on high level rides. Its an unfortunate situation with the Stewarts but man, theres alot of good rides that got filled by good riders without them.

Maybe he continues to get the ride based solely on merit. He's been on the podium a few times over the last couple years, and seems to be a guy who battles from gate to checkers, week in and week out. He's probably not drawing a huge salary, has been fairly healthy, but suffers from bad starts. If you check the lap charts you might be surprised to see who he passes on a weekly basis.

Funny...I suppose I am more of a hypocrite. I would only invest MY money into guaranteed exposure.

At the same time, the sport needs to be less top heavy and spread some of the wealth.

I only old and wise because I was once young and stupid!!

i can see him around 5th or so. Not having a ride is ridiculous. You got guys like Tickle on a factory bike! That's so ridiculous! That's a mid pack rider. I'm starting to think he has somthing on RC, how else can he keep getting a ride with them?
Maybe Tickle is on the team because he does what is expected of him and he works well with the team without any outside distractions or drama.....Maybe they just like him.

Why do people think Malcolm is so deserving of a 450 ride? I am an investor and I would never consider investing in Malcolm. Even with a factory machine, we can say "mid-pack".....not worthy. Same with Wilson. Mid pack will not get you sponsored (obviously).

On the other hand, I would invest into James. He is an icon in this sport, no matter what anybody thinks.

Riders are replaceable. Icons are not.

And for the people that claim drugs are the issue, get a grip!

I typically go to 8 or 9 supercross events each year. Without James on the line, I will go to 0 events. This industry has been taken over by a circus (literally) and it is becoming a reality more and more each year.

Tickle is on the team because they believe he is right on the edge of greatness. That's the reason a team makes an investment in a rider at that level.

Tickle is a top 10 machine in SX . outdoor s he is better . he prob rode better than he ever has last year ,2 3rd in a row .keeping up with tomac at Red Bud . You are a HATER .... Plus imo Tickle would be very close to Mookie in SX and ahead of him in Outdoors
