I don’t think he was offered a ride and probably doesn’t want to spend his own money building a bike and hauling it to the races. Just a thought. But the guy has some of the smoothest style I’ve ever seen. Love watching him ride it just looks so effortless

He hasn’t put up an IG post saying he’s not done and he wouldn’t leave like yet. So not like James.

Probably sits out a while, shows back up and runs 6th, then gets a fill in ride.

Big difference between JS and JG.
JS was in the spotlight his whole life.

He’ll just get a fill in ride half way through the year and get a 7th place

Walking through the pits last week and thought the same thing. At the very least he should be one of the 3 on HEP Suzuki. Take your pick...

Incorrect. He raced in Barcelona after Straight Rhythm, and edged out Malcom Stewart for the win. He looked really good despite the track being sketchy. I'm not a huge JG fan, but do enjoy him in the sport and was kind of caught off guard not seeing him at A1. He's not the best rider, but is definitely better than a lot of the guys out there. I wonder if the desire is gone, if he couldn't find a ride, or was asking for too much $.

Dude is a legend and should be paid accordingly. He knows his life’s worth and I don’t blame him for sidelining it till he gets something beneficial. The reason the sport is so top heavy is because dudes with crazy talent and nothing to lose will ride and risk it all for free. And people wonder why our privateers get paid shit. //endrant.

You use the term legend to loosely. Amazing rider? Yes. Legend? No.

Like many I think JG is over the games the series play with the riders. There are so many talented dudes that are rideless.. I wouldn't pay out of pocket to go race like that. I bet he will go to WORCS, GNCC or be an ambassedor somewhere

I had been following his Instagram and saw he won $3,500 for the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix pro win and then $15,000 for some off road race win. Not bad for a retired guy.
