Because he's stated so. Mostly from the excess amount of antibiotics from the lime burns last year I believe, after already being on tons of antibiotics from his surgeries. Congrats on being a superior human being! Edit: I misread his post above thinking ... more »

He's been at full tilt since 2017 either rehabbing or racing. Time to just sit down and recover.

Woosh!

I think the over use of antibiotics after limegate last year put him on the edge, health wise. He got dealt a lot of shit cards making life not so easy.

It treated Heath Voss pretty well with this FIM SX title.

Surprising Ricky didn't dominate MX points. Short is a sleeper, too

Marchbanks is out too

Jeremy Martin just took his shirt off.

Nice to see they put Anderson's seat back on for the photo op
