I just don't see it being as easy as all that. Training and trainers, agents, lawyers, health insurance, motorhomes and drivers, taxes, a retirement plan, living arrangements on two coasts, paying hangers on, family, and man friends, a huge contract could get eaten into real quick. AC had spent alot of his time injured, and though I understand he has investment properties, does he have a several million dollar nest egg to retire? I doubt it.

I don’t see how you think someone like AC who’s won races, won a 250 outdoor title, been factory forever, been monster forever, was AStars as amateur forever, has been running fox has a 450 factory rider for years now doesn’t have a couple mill in the bank? You don’t see him posting pics of cars and jewelry, seems like he’s a pretty normal guy who’s made a bunch of money and probably saved it knowing he and his kids can be set up.

Retiring at 27 - 28 on "a couple million" wouldn't be as simple as all that. The professionals that manage his assets would get a cut from that just to manage it, let alone everything else. On the 4% rule, 2 million gives you 80k a year in retirement, hardly great in California, hardly acceptable to someone used to AC's lifestyle. I just find it unreliable to make assumptions on somebodies financial well being whom I don't think anyone on this thread has even had a multiple sentence conversation with. I know a few people with income properties, I don't consider them wealthy. Of course it is all perspective I suppose.

if he wants to retire I would understand, although riding for one of the new manufacturers like Beta or Triumph would be cool to watch.

I think AC will base everything off of how he feels. Maybe just saying screw it and sitting out the rest of the year to properly give his arm time to heal would be a good move. Getting mediocre results when your capable of more has to be very difficult

That’s the thing time off isn’t going to fix his nerve issue unfortunately.  Nerves aren’t well understood compared to other systems in the body. It’s not necessarily something that will ‘heal’ over time.
