Gizmo needs to send someone to his compound asap to ask for the bikes back.

Maybe the injury is real, but given his track record, I'm not inclined to believe him. I'd bet him and the team end up going separate ways, and then he'll show up at a random outdoor national with stock graphics, absolutely kill it, and everyone will be asking why he doesn't have a ride.

 

It's rinse and repeat with Masterpool, and the sport has the collective memory of a goldfish.

There’s a pattern of unpredictability that suggests something deeper may be going on, he is too erratic.

Insert the sound of a balloon losing all of its air

Inconsistent is the normal pattern for Ty unfortunately.

It's probably too late, but he really needs the structure of a training facility not run by his family.

I’d imagine he has some demons he’s chasing with losing his brother at a race. As mentioned there is a pattern of wasted opportunities, might as well accept it as it is. You will see a couple more flashes of brilliance from him outdoors and then he will fade away like the many other “what could’ve been” in this sport that were derailed by injuries or personal issues.

Since the initial injury it was discovered that Masterpool had sustained a torn labrum, which will require surgery. There isn't a hard timetable on his return but the team said Masterpool will be out for several months.

Is Gizmo paying him a salary? Maybe Ty comes out back halfway thru the outdoors for them on a 450?

I often wonder with him being an MX specialist if he’d be a better fit in the MX2 series for a team.

In Europe? I don’t think he’d last a week in another country. 

He should just be an AMA outdoors guy. That’d be cool if we only saw him in outdoors super prepared every year.

He is too old. He is 24 and age limit is 23.

Genuine question, how does someone like Ty pay his bills? He’s had PC and Star contracts, but I can’t imagine they were enough to float him the next couple of years. Is his family loaded?

Nothing says Ty Masterpool like an uncomfortable situation away from home. Pretty much the same point someone else already made about the Masterpool to MXGP scenario.

Sorry sir but it's not apples to oranges.  Many fast Americans have went up north and they mostly say the same thing.... the Canadian's are fast on their home soil.
