Sounds like he got the raw end of the deal with Geico, but definitely didn't and isn't dealing with it well.

"This isn’t something I want to post, but I have to so here it goes, I have had an awesome 16 years in this sport. Traveled all around the world, accomplished a lot of goals, seen a lot of amazing places and met a lot of amazing people that I will never forget. Motocross has been the only thing and most important thing to me all of my life. But I’ve come to realize that my body can’t handle that stress anymore. Through all of the broken bones, torn muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc. and always cutting injuries short to get back to racing. I have a lot of regrets with racing, I wish I would’ve worked harder. I rarely worked out, and when I did workout it was halfass. Always ate the worst food possible for myself as an athlete. I took the talent I had on a motorcycle for granted. I regret that, very much. I’ve got a job now close to home as a Fabrication Welder, just trying to enjoy the real world for once. I just want to thank everybody that was always there for me through the good times and the bad times no matter what. My family for always being behind me with love and support. Huge thanks to the Woods family for giving me hospitality and training over the years. The Harrison family for always having my back and helping me out. The Irwin family for the hospitality and wrenching. John Wessling for always trying to push me with training, Mike LaRocco for believing in me and giving me the chance, Frausto, Moore, Bratcher, and many more. It’s been a great career. Thank you to you all."
I hope this kid puts a lot more effort into learning the trade of welding, but if I knew that he was going to be doing work for me I’d be wary for at least a few years. Skills can be learned, but pride in your efforts and quality of work are a bit more ingrained early and harder to change.

Some care about quality and put the work in. Others don’t.
As I said, I hope this turns out differently and he’s one of those people who actually learned from their mistakes. If it were me I’d have a “show me, don’t tell me” attitude until proven otherwise.
Don’t forget how rigorous and gnarly moto can be. I doubt he was out of shape. Just not the machine that say Jeremy Martin is.
This is why the athletes keep so tight lipped in our sport. As soon as some honesty comes out, they get shit on.

Well I can already tell you nothings changed on the news regarding those two subjects..Trumps still pursuing legal action and were getting closer to releasing a vaccine.
However, rest in peace to the service men our country lost today due to a helicopter crash. Prayers to their loved ones and words cant describe the gratitude for their ultimate sacrifice for our country.
