How would you structure the deal.  He's currently rehabbing a torn acl...

good bike, low salary, big bonuse?

with a potential recession coming (foreclosures popping up) I think he messed up big.  $$

Neither are Mookie, Marchbanks, half of the PC team and 95% of the Star team. I don't think their web team really cares about that section of the site. 🤣

I’d go the other way and throw a hail mary. Questionable bike and huge salary, hope for the best.

IMHO Sexton is too much of a liability to sign. He may win a race or two, but he'll wash the front end in the other races and then bash the brand. Who needs that?

Totally bro. Signing a 2 time 450 champion with 30 overall wins in the 450 class is such a liability 🙄

If the money was coming out of your pocket, would you hire him knowing the risk?

Do you want to be writing the checks to someone who is likely going to make you look like an ass? I can understand someone not wanting to take that risk.


A year ago I would have said the same about Prado, KTM had big balls and took that chance and it paid off, so you never know.. Myself, I don’t like to gamble.

Absolutely. He is the fastest guy that isn’t named Lawrence. His credentials speak for itself. He’s won a championship on every team he’s been on except kawi which we now have plenty confirmation on about that team.  With your same logic about washing the front end, would you not hire Jett because he keeps getting injured crashing? 
 

Crashes happen. Sexton is going to make a strong comeback 100%. Give him grace the first part of the season, but he’ll be up there. I think he handled the kawi situation better than prado and somehow we all appreciate prado now (myself included here).

That was precisely the joke. It was in another thread..

I hope you are right about him. I guess what I'm saying is I wouldn't put money on it.

This is what leads me to think he'll end up at KTM since they welcomed Prado back. They don't seem to get butthurt over break-ups. Maybe KTM is using Kawi as a farm.

I would hire Chase right now, but it would be on terms very favourable to me, with most of the risk on his side of the contract.
