Ty Masterpool has confirmed his return for Unadilla. It'll be interesting to see what level of performance he can put on, as he's currently out at Pro Circuit after SMX this year and there's been no news or rumblings on where he could end up next year.

Careful, the Masterpool Mafia will be after you saying he hasn't done anything wrong and the teams are always to blame.

...another highly talented guy who needs better guidance form the people who care about him..

Jerry should have sent him to Florida to train with the rest of his team years ago.

Now, it's back to the privateer grind, as there are more than a few bridges burnt...

Funny how quickly Masterpool went from a feel-good story to a stubborn guy who's squandering his second good chance because he and his parents think they know better than Mitch.

Would just like to see him next year on a 450 good team. Be cool to see what he could do on a factory kawi.

I think he needs to be on the Justin Hill program.

Ty is so much fun to watch ride when he is on it. Truly a great talent, but he just gets hurt too much and seems to be sick often. Not good if you want to be a pro dirt bike racer on a factory team. He does seem to be a better 450 rider. Like RJ?

You sure about that? It isn’t very hard to terminate a contract for such accusations… oh wait his agent is…

Who would still have Mirtl as a agent when the 2 biggest guys in sport dump him? I’d imagine teams wouldn’t even want to be dealing with him if he was your agent with all the accusations being thrown out there, so I would think finding a ride would be harder, especially if you’re not a easy rider to deal with and your agents sketch.

I hope people stop harping on about giving him another factory ride. 

Privateer 450 outdoors only when he feels like showing up is the best version of Masterpool we will get.

Genuine question what do you mean? I thought he was just injured l? Catch me up to speed if you don’t mind.

Will never happen but I'd like to see what he'd be able to do if he went to MXGP

Ive worked on a team he was a part of in the past. Kid doesnt put in the work off the bike, doesnt listen to his team, blames the bike for all issues, and always weasles out of SX. Give his ride to someone that actually wants it. I guess listening to your dad thats never won a championship is better than Mitch Payton's advice.

Is Mirtl a Branch Davidian now also? He's certainly crazy enough...

He's done. He can't ride supercross - and in this day and age that is a serious handicap. Mitch signed him to get wins in outdoors and with the hope he'd massively improve in supercross. He did neither. It's back to Waco for him I'm afraid...

In 23 he made six figures outdoors and SMX as a privateer. I'd argue that right now with SMX, being decent at SX is less relevant if you are a true privateer and want to make money. If you want to ride on a factory team, that's another story.

An example from the middle of the SX season he was sitting out of.
