I’m not sure if it’s true or not but at this point I think a fresh start would be best for forkner. I love PC Kawi they are my favorite team and I like af but sometimes a change can help.

I believe it’s been stated that he has a PC contract on the table for 2025 as soon as the doctors give him the green light to return to racing.

Nothing against swoll, but I’d love to see Triumph get an A+ rider. Forkner is a risk but it could pay off, I’d gamble it.

I hope its true. If he's not going to retire (I think he should), he needs to at least change teams. New scenery is always good when coming off a slump. Unfortunately his "slump" has lasted since he became pro. Triumph can take him and he can be their problem. Kawasaki and Mitch have done enough catering to him.

Have at him Triumph!

 

Embattled racer with big upside but I'm not sure he can fully unlock his potential at this point in his career.

So who we talking at Triumph?  Smith, Swoll and Forkner?  Sounds like a law firm. Lol.  Wasn’t Vohland rumored to be headed there as well?

I would argue Triumph is a bigger risk for Forkner than the other way around.

Stylz is headed to Triumph. Max to Club is the rumor I’ve heard.

I don't wish any more injury on Forkner, but I really hope he does'nt win the championship for triumph on his first year if he moves...I don't know if Mitch would ever recover from that!

what was Cooksey talking about when he said something will come out in a couple weeks, personal to Forkner, that influenced this Triumph move?

Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes there but I haven’t heard anything at all about his future in a while.

Something personal sounds like a kid on the way. Maybe they backed up the Brinks truck.

Forker is an A+ rider?  Aside from his rookie outdooor season has he finished a championship?

“Cooksey” and “saying stupid shit” is redundant.

Is Triumph planning to have a 450 team?  Is Beta planning a 250?  Sorry for the sidetrack.

Triumph yes. Was planned for 2025, but got delayed.

Did you pull this from someplace else, or did that kook really refer to himself in third person and then compliment himself?

There’s no reason for him to retire.

If it is true that his base is roughly 21k a month before tax he needs to get a better paying ride to support his lifestyle, let alone retirement…

“Think” and “should” = 🚩 

EGO.

If true, this is another heavily questionable decision from Triumph talent acquisition...

Austin recognizes his ego is not the end all be all and he accepts his path may not look like the one he built in his head years ago. 

Yet here you are, projecting your own shit onto the man in the arena.

You are welcome to your opinion. It may be worthwhile to keep it yourself more often, and maybe even going as far as to sit and ask yourself if it’s serving you. 

It’s all perspective.

How many years has he been at it in 250s? He's definitely got some unfinished business in 250s but gotta move up eventually right? Probably makes him sick seeing Deegan breeze to a 250 title

Does the guy above sound like a guy who is comparing himself to another racer? Or whose self worth is attached to a 250 title? Ffs 🤦🏽‍♂️
