I don't think there's much to hear about the end of his career. BB/RMATVMC was folding and not able to pay so he dipped. Decided to go make big money managing/selling structural steel erection. I would be stoked to listen to him on a podcast, but I just don't think the end of his career was nearly as mysterious as people make it out to be.

I never heard a decent explanation one way or the other. It's like he just fell off the planet.

Yup Blake is probably making more money than all the guys on the starting line including the top guys, taking over the family business and good for him!

20 years of racing moto at the highest level....and in your last 1.5 years,  your employer stiffs you for compensation?

Easy to say to heck with this, and join Family business, and enjoy Family.

Pretty sure he took them to court over it. I always wondered why KTM didn’t step in and just pay him since he was riding for one of their factory supported teams and was a top guy.

Tough to sell it when you give it away for free.

I think everyone is filling the blanks with Blake semi-accurately. Too bad Davi's locker didn't text Gypsy instead...

As much as I would love to hear him talk on the topic, he won't and can't. Unless there is a time frame in which legally he couldn't talk about it. But I think in most cases they can never talk about it. 

BB is easily my most favorite 250 outdoor rider ever. Before the wrist issues he was amazing. Deegan was smashing the 250 guys at the end of the motos with fitness, It looked like he was doing what Baggett was doing. But he wasn't BB was dropping those times ridiculously at the end of the moto, 

I would watch a long form interview with him any day of the week.

Dude hurt my feelings every single weekend when Kenny came over from Europe and I expected him to smoke the field only for this bald guy on a Kawi to come out of nowhere in the last 10 minutes of every single moto making everybody else look like fools.

True and it's a structural steel erection. Not the same/same
