Something has to be going on. I know a team would never sabotage a rider but it seems like every moto he ends up in the pits. You have to feel for him as he still hasn’t signed a contract as far as I know but this mx season definitely isn’t helping case.

Or.... has he already signed with another team and is mad at Kawasaki thus trying not no get any results for them

Just bench racing but..

That's true...but it doesn't help his getting a good ride for next year, unless there's something we don't know and he's staying at Kawi.

The ghost of Mike Williamson is sabotaging the bike pre-race. I heard Guy B got some pictures of levitating T-handles in the kawi pits. Guy had to use a super zoom lens from lot B to get the shots.

He was just running 6th and is now 29th. Did the bike break again?

He earned a good ride with his SX season. That's probably all he needed to do.

In moto two he was right on Tomac's rear wheel and it looked like he was going to pass him, then he stayed around 7th for awhile and then went backwards fast. Hopefully he can put in a couple of full moto's before the season is over.

His 'good' year is really turning out to not be good at all. SX ended badly getting hurt and motocross has been a disaster.

I hope he already has a deal signed for 2020.

Joey is going to be just fine next year !!

Not sure what’s going on with his bike, but it looks bad on Kawasaki, not Joey....

The Moto press will never get the “scoop” they are too busy getting coffee and lunch at haulers to ask any real questions. If they start asking real questions the free donuts dry up and they don’t get to bro down with the riders anymore.

There is no real Moto "Press" when it comes to negative or controversial stories, - and if you think about it, that is the way it is in all motorsports.

The pond is too small to make enemies on race teams, you report the truth and you are no longer granted access.

Yeah, the moto press will get right on this post to prove him wrong. Dizzy

He's had bike issues and crash issues--that's it. As a guy that worked on a few teams over the years, I understand that bike issues sometimes happen. Not sure we need a full investigation

Off topic, but who (if anyone?) makes that chain roller?

Wasn’t bike issues. He crashed and broke the foot peg. Funny how people love conspiracies.
