Any word on that youngster? I've noticed he hasn't been in the line up. I'm assuming he's too sick to race or he's just sitting it out until he's fully recovered from whatever he has. Just curious if anyone knows what's going on with him.

He rode the first practice and actually had a top 40 qualifying time, but he felt too weak after that first practice due to the Epstein-Barr virus and did not line up for the national.

I can't imagine even trying to race in those conditions without being in prrfect health. I feel bad for the kid.

ON RacerX review podcast Weege sort of hinted that Austria may have pressured TC to at least try at WW Ranch. Seems ridiculous to me.

If the doctor tells him he is ok to ride his employer has a right to expect that. I can't imagine he would have even ridden practice if the doc didn't clear him to do so.

You don't need to be Einstein to know that rest is the only thing that will solve this problem. Don't get it, really don't.

Arnaud Tonus also got Epstein Barr when he got in the states. He was lost af on the track and unfortunately didn't show jackpoop... now look at him.

I think Thomas needs to call it quits this year and maybe significant portion of the next year too. If you wanna see him underperforming then go ahead and keep him "racing".

Nothing brings out the forum medical doctors like a thread on mono/epstein barr

Except maybe a thread on PEDs

Austria is doing everything they can to make the case to fire this guy at the end of the year and terminate year 2. Obviously things have not gone well, but to pressure him to line up this weekend was BS.

But how do we really know they pressured him unless Thomas tells us that is what happened.

He is a racer and a good one! He probably wanted to give it a shot especially since he did very well there in 2017.

He told Matthes he was pressured to race and the pressure was coming from Austria. I wasn't giving my opinion.

If Thomas really told him that and Matthes went public with it I don't see a future for him at Husky. Not a smart move for either one of them.

I took that as more of a joke when he said that, he also says all kinds of guys here skirt around the rules. He could have and could not have it really dosent matter.

Weird you bring Herlings into a unrelated thread. Don’t you have a cock to suck somewhere else? Give us a break, man.

Matthes didn't say that. He said he wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Big difference.

It is a virus but:


Hi !

I think those are the main reasons but not the only ways to get EBV as I caught it 2 and half months ago and I didn't do any of that. I work from home all the time so I have done like 7 things outside home in the 3 months prior to getting it (normally the virus is caught 2 to 3 weeks i think before really starting). My girlfriend hasn't even caught it either. I was just over pushing a lot at work, missing some sleep, since a few weeks.

The only way i can think of is either "over working", or being contaminated with my hands in a public place (supermarket, library). The fact that my girlfriend didn't get it makes me think it may actually be the first option.

And I also think everybody is different regarding the recovery : personnally it only lasted maximum 1 month, really 10 days where I was quite down with huge fevers (changing the bed every morning!), I could not work and focus, about 10 days where I was still working but at 70% as i was feeling weak, and since I feel normal, whereas it can take a year to others.

If it can helps others, as there is no medication, i have used simple supplements to reinforce the system (i.e. magnesium, multi vitamins, etc), i drunk a bit of home made lemon juice in the morning, and i have eaten almost only natural food that is helping the liver (and avoided food that is heavy on the liver).

I hope Thomas recovers.

Also wondering what happened to Aaron Plessinger. I thought I heard he was gonna race WW.

AP was not ready yet according to his team. He should be back for Redbud though !

Hope he does well without the championship pressure

I feel sorry for Covington, he’s got to just rest at this point, you can’t race through that kind of thing, and him continuing to get those kind of results is doing no one any favours. I was surprised to see him even show up at WW, racing in that heat with Epstein Barr was always gonna be a no go
