This whole thing is kind of mystifying, what sort of results would he have to get to save his career? Top 15 to get a shot at a B level team?

I think we can all see this is quite a mess, I feel this young man has some regrets looming in the future. Too bad.

That won’t happen until Reddog stops writing them checks.

stock WP over support KYB makes total sense yeah. 

Do you actually think he'll line up and race with the stock suspension or do you think maybe it was just on there for the photo?

I think whatever privateer development is done to it will be inferior to what he had

Fair enough.

If I had to guess, it'll be stuff done by Active Ride out of Florida.  Same guy that is doing Kenny's stuff.

If you don't do that is it even worth riding dirt bikes?

I don’t really understand why he did the Pulp interview at all when he wasn’t allowed to say anything about the one thing everyone was wondering about. Just ended up being a super bad look with him dodging the question in strange ways. If I was unable to actually say anything about the situation I would have just stayed quiet lol

He has plenty of bike skills and is a great rider. He will either figure it out or not but cant blame a man for doing what he thinks is right. I hope he comes out and kills it.

And I thought Tony and Mike made some questionable decisions early on in Mike's career.

Questionable or not, Mike was winning races right away on the 250 and won the 2nd 250 national he ever raced at high point.

He won a few of the original futures where they raced at the stadium the next day when the track was tamed down a lot more.

Those were the amateur days not the futures ran on the same track with real competition.

Sorry that it doesn't meet your exact criteria, but the statement is factual.

Misleading is more appropriate these are not the future races of today where you can earn Pro points can't do that on a super mini🤷‍♂️

I wonder about this. If the Triumph team realised the kid is just way off the pace of Joey and Jalek, and he was going to struggle to make mains and not get close to top 10’s. Pressure from both sides, he came to accept he’s not at that level and needed out to avoid the spotlight. A rebuild on this level team could help him. His dad can throw some $$ at the bike to make it more competitive and have some freedom without conflicting sponsors like with other teams.

No ugliness intended here but why is this guy relevant? Answer without saying “his last name”

Unfortunately the only reason he's even being talked about is because he LEFT Triumph. So far nothing he's done on the track since turning pro makes him relevant, which again is why him leaving a factory ride is wild. Especially after his Pulp "interview"

He was relevant enough to have some pretty good support rides as an Amateur and get signed by a Factory Team before he'd ever raced SX so.....I guess at some point the folks signing the checks thought he was relevant.

However, this is Vital and everyone here knows better than the folks actually signing the checks....but oddly, none of them step up with their own checkbooks and show them how it's done.

I think the general consensus is he made himself less relevant by walking away from those paychecks for some questionable reasons...

I also thought based on the vagueness of his interview that he was asked to resign from the team. The "social media banger" comment sounds a lot like a desperate grasp for justification of sub par performance.
