According to Mathes, what he's been told , is it's Jason's health that the issue. Not his family 

Matthes is a noted JA insider 😆. 

Hope he and his family are ok.

I don't have any heartache with ML...I think he's a pretty cool cat.  But I'll say this...most of the folks that hated Gibby for his "heavy handedness" are the same ones that are wrecking this place with their "Free speech".  It's gonna be hard for ML to keep this joint "Vital" if its nothing but dickheads arguing about everything.

I will say I post a lot less recently because of the few trolls that are in almost every thread pretty much ruining every thread with their same BS....

It's easier to convince themselves they were clicked due to political persecution instead of admitting to themselves they are social vegetables.

Respectfully disagree, ML has done a great job of getting guys back here who were part of Motodrive and building vital into what it was. GuyB was a decent guy as well, there were directives in place and sponsors to satisfy. That caused censorship which ran people off or they were clicked. Either way the place went down hill and everyone lost interest. I don't know the metrics these days but there doesn't seem to be nearly as much traffic as back in the day? If they start censoring again the few who come here will leave.

I'm not a cooksey fan but Moto is long overdue for someone who posts the truth. When was the last time you heard a PED story in moto? Do you think guys stopped trying to get an edge on the competition or healing their bodies faster? I doubt it! No one is reporting anything but fluff again which makes a story like Deegan doing doughnuts a big deal. Your sport is sad when the biggest stories take place off the track either in the announcer booth or in a parking lot driving a vehicle with four wheels........... I blame triple crowns (they are insufferable) and four strokes!

Maybe I’ll get lit on fire for my opinion but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being concerned about Jason and curious about what is going on. It’s only natural to feel that way about somebody you feel like you know a little bit. People are use to seeing him on the track, listening to him in interviews, watch vlogs, etc. so they feel a connection there and are concerned when something like this happens. 

Does Jason have to tell the public what’s going on? No, of course he doesn’t have to but if he doesn’t people are going to speculate. No different than if somebody stops coming into the office and then everyone in the office gets a memo that he’ll be out for a few months to focus on his health. The people in the office who were use to seeing him every day are going to wonder what’s going on.

I don't think you'll ever get reporting like the stick and ball sports.  The teams will just close ranks and we'll have even less than we do now.  It has always been this way.

This is kinda why we have the silly reporting we're seeing..."If I can't find the truth I'll make up a lie...it all pays the same".

What are the chances that we never see JA on a green bike again?  Did he find out about a proposed or possibly done Sexton deal? His last couple of races have been a train wreck. Maybe a doom spiral and decided he was out?

Yup...I was going to post the same thing. I think there's a very real chance he doesn't ever ride green again.

Whatever is going on with Ando, I hope he's ok. And his family. We'll find out when we find out. He does some head scratching moves on the track but I love his style.

I agree we have never truly had it and each time we see someone start down that path or give an honest report that person is blacklisted from the industry. Think about each crazy fringe moto guy you can name and typically they were once legit until they grew tired of fluff pieces and photo shoots.My guess is most are still legit they only have the crazy label to discredit their content. Steve Cox comes to mind......

Like all the Branch Covidians that ran Ping off because he was talking about that he was experiencing on the ground....no way an actual first responder could know more about what was going on than Rachel Madow.  😂

Guessing if it was an injury they would likely release that information and no be so vague about it?  Hopefully nothing too serious and he makes a quick recovery from whatever it is

I don’t think it’s his personal health. If it were there’d be no reason to not disclose whatever it may be such as EBV. Think it would have to do something with his family’s health.

No. But regardless of the reasoning, 2026 contracts are being discussed and negotiated right now heavily and JA not racing the rest of SX is not doing him any favors...

Jason not riding right now has zero impact on his negotiations. People know what the ranges you may get from him as well as the fans he brings. 

He'll be fine there. Hope all is well with him and the family.

Just want to point out that "mental health" is also a health reason, but it's too taboo to mention specifically. too much stigma. if a factor here, right or wrong, he won't be back at Kawi next year. downvote me for having an opinion if you want...

Speculation IS opinion, yes. Very good. The 'wild' modifier denotes your discomfort with diverse points of view. Unless you can state an argument for why it's highly unlikely to be a viable opinion of course. But then you'd also be speculating.
