Was hovering in around 7/8th in the LCQ, didn’t move forward.  Seemed to delete his instagram stories quickly after the race. Not sure if he ever had BETA in his bio but it’s not there.  And no follow up post from the race.  
 

Benny is getting better and better each week it seems. But colt? 
 

any word on what happened? Or whether he is on the rocks with the team/bike?

Considering that he knew it was a new bike and program that would have growing pains? I doubt a situation is arising like you are leading on. Then again, crazier things have happened like Stew switching from blue to yellow mid season and the whole Ward Racing lol

Maybe that would explain the team's PR guy starting a strange thread seemingly recruiting (or announcing?) Derek Drake to Beta

I’d guess he’s still a little busted up.  I’d also guess he is all in with Beta.  Didn’t he do a 5th last year outdoors toward the end of the season on a showroom stock Yamaha.

Kawi SR with older factory suspension I believe.

Another 250 Champion who has unfortunately struggled to find success in the 450 class (so far). That list is long.

Yeah, that was impressive!  Wonder if he wishes he was still on that bike.

In one of the heats, or at the end of qualifying he went down in the rhythm section. Pretty sure that affected his performance on the day, possibly banged up his shoulder again....

He's earned the benefit of the doubt.  I'm sure he's jacked up still.  I would love there to be a ride for him with this schedule.

He was hurt before the season and didn't have much sx time before coming back. He crashed in the last qualifier I believe this past weekend so i'd assume that affected his night.

How does this have 6 downvotes.  It's not an insult to say that so far, he's struggled.

Think they’re more so directed at the author and not the validity of his post.

It is something that some riders just get hurt a lot more than others. Colt, Austin, AC, Trey Canard, Jake Weimer, just to name some.

Injuries can totally ruin a career. The physical and mental toll.

No worries Flatliner... I've got Sonny and Red West, along with Jerry Schilling by my side at all times. Lamar Fike, Billy Smith, Marry Lacker and Joe Esposito also. It's a formidable group...👑

I think it's less about what he posts than the fact he posts in every thread in every forum every 30 seconds or so .

He just posted on IG that he’s improving and loving the process, for what that is worth…
