I've done my fair share of defending Vince in the past but if this is true (seems to be) then the dude is a complete loser and should be banned from professional racing.
I know we love drama here, but what a mess

what does “alleged” mean?
Alleged is an adjective that's used to describe things that have been claimed. It's most often used to describe an action or situation, especially a wrongdoing or crime, that someone claims happened but that has not been confirmed or proven.
Based on the above common definition, If Brayton didn’t hear it directly from Friese then it remains “alleged” … as in “on the line it was alleged (claimed) that Friese was offering a bounty of 2000 dollars on me.”
trying to rig the results of a race is not typically viewed in a good way,
Imagine paying over $1m to have the FIM sanction 2 races and they don't try to enforce their own rules.
It's a shame we have these guys like Freise and Barcia, they have the fire in them to push and the skill to do well and are a little loose and pretty full throttle which makes them good fun to watch, they could be great.
Then they clean someone out because they can't hang with them or they choose the plain dirty angle instead of just passing someone and make these overly aggressive passes / pass attempts, that are way past a good solid aggressive pass or block pass or just taking a line away like most of us are totally happy to see.
As for Freise chucking beer at Brayton and talking about paying folks to take him down, bitch moves on both counts. If those reports are accurate.
That said....if Friese actually offered $$$ to take people out, he needs to be banned from racing.
I have given him the benefit of the doubt in the past. He is fast and gets good starts, imagine the ride he could get without all the drama.
Personally I don’t think a rider like Friese, who would offer another rider money to take someone out, has a place in dirt bike racing at all.
Vince should 100% be banned for this. Offering money to take out other riders is a line that can not be allowed to be crossed. Plus on top of that his record is of him not caring whatsoever about other riders safety around him on the track. He needs to be made an example of that you cant cross that line sx is already the most dangerous sport, this is ridiculous.
Look at it this way. Guy gets fired for groping on women at the office (sexual harrassment). Should the guy be able to switch companies and pull the same crap elsewhere.
Pit Row
Or at least…probably.
If Harlan corroborates that claim, Vince AND his mechanic should be banned from any organization that has any affiliation with the FIM for at least a couple of years.
That should be the absolute minimum, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it being much, much longer.
Offering to pay another rider money to take out a rival competitor to affect the outcome of a FIM sanctioned World Championship event is beyond serious and should be considered a major scandal.
Most leagues/sanctioning bodies have rules against fixing or throwing a game and the penalties are usually permanent bans.
Friese, his mechanic and anyone else that was involved needs to be permanently banned from all AMA and FIM sanctioned events.
