I watched the whole thing and I never heard the "Why I left Yamaha".  Did God tell him too or did I doze off?

Yeah he clickbaited us.  But his stories of joining Star were funny.  He talks about leaving in the last 2 minutes.  lol

Bobby is like the security guy at the mall who caught a 16 year old girl shop lifting.

You're telling me that a guy who spends millions on millions of his own money to build a team of 16-24 year old boys/young men who perform for him might be kinda weird? 

Ever see the movie Foxcatcher? 

Could be a “Blink Twice” type of scenario. Something in the water at The Goat Farm… you never know!  😝

I watched the whole video and I still don't exactly know why he is leaving. It was a great synopsis of his journey to Star and his time at Star, but the part I missed (maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention?) was the "reason why I left" part. Can someone point me to the correct timestamp in the video where he says it please?

They didn’t offer him a new contract

And he can see no reasons.
Cause there are no reasons.
What reason do you need to be shown?

I should be surprised that Bobby does this, but I'm not at all. The guy is weird AF.

Future riders should have the spray painted abs done.  Bobby couldn’t tell the difference over zoom.

Eric Sorby said he used to put on cycling shorts and lay in a tanning bed so he'd have a tan line and Mitch would think he'd been training on his road bike.

And he would put his bike on a stand with fans blowing air through the radiators to put hours on the practice bike!! that came straight from Mitch!! he only found out later!

He looked the part too,  high end athlete that guy was not.  Fast, but dropped anchor.

Jeez, why the bashing? I thought it was a great listen. Excited to see where he will end up. He sounds pretty excited and confident about his new team

Is Team ECC talking about making a come-back?  He might be in their top 5 of riders to watch...

Mathess and Weege need to start a team just so we can get Mosiman, Masterpoole, Finies and Caden Braswell as the riders. 

Phil Nicoletti will be the team manager

i suspect it was Bobby encouraging him to find another profession.....

So much natural ability.  Sorby could have been really dangerous had he put forth the effort.
