I'm really surprised he hasn't gotten a ride , I personally dont understand all the hate , he seems like a cool guy to me, he reminds me a little but of Jake Weimer as far as interviews, which is just a tell it like it is type , but Imo he has a bigger upside potential than some others , I think he could surprise a few people next SX season, and going through some of these things is just gonna add fuel to the Fire.

Quick synopsis since I know few people will listen to a 90 minute talk between the two of us.

He explained the last Moto of the Monster Energy Cup, from gate pick to move over to the relationship between he and Tomac after. Per Joey, he was not paid a cut of the million dollars the way everyone assumed. Said with the way things played out in the months that followed he regrets the decision and would not do it again. That’s discussed 33 minutes in all the way to the the commercial break.

The second half talks about his relationship with Adam (cordial but not close friends), how it felt to have the 2020 team announcement come midway through the summer, and what he plans to do if a contract isn’t signed by Monster Cup or the three international races he is on the entry list for.

I’ll type out the key parts for a post on the site tomorrow for those that would rather read.

In my opinion, intentionally throwing a big race on your team debut was a terrible idea. The fact that he expected a cut of the money is not how sporting competitions are supposed to work. My respect for Savatgy and the Kaw team certainly dropped off the charts, then he seemed to pull off the track a bunch in the outdoors. It's like he was a placemarker at Kaw, and it's not surprising his time there didn't make him much of a fan base.

man, that was a brutal listen. i skipped to the MEC segment and signed off shortly after.

"i don't expect money or a thank you"....."yeah they could have said thank you"..."we were working on a deal where they would pay me the difference"... "i don't expect him to thank me"...

i'm out

He said in the interview that he had a deal pulled from him because of an on-track incident. What was that incident? Was it the Honda deal that was pulled because of it?

I dunno... I'm a huge Savatgy fan. Always have been. He's been awesome every time I've ever met him and at Unadilla this year we chatted for a solid 10 minutes about how he gets so much gear he literally has to throw some away every week or else it's too much to handle all at once among other topics (I'm a jersey collector so that stood out to me haha). Same with his dad and his mechanic. Always been a good conversation at the races. I don't get the hate.

Did the fan pay him anything for the $1 million gift he got? Must have since Joey didn’t bitch about it interview. There’s two sides to every story so I️’d love to hear the other side one day.

he seems like a very conflicted young man...he flits back and forth between negativity and positivity, often contradicting himself. Almost like he knows what he "should" do or say and catches himself when he says something inconsistent with his world view.

Regardless of what happens in his moto career, I hope he surrounds himself with positive people and figures stuff out.

This is just dumb. Why would he have beef with AC to want to do that, if anything he should be mad at Kawi. In fact after listening, he should take out Eli for not thanking him about the MEC deal and for not giving him a congrats on having a baby. Even Osborne came to him to say congrats he says.
