I feel like it's the same story with Masterpool over and over again. Kills it outdoors as a privateer, gets a ride, struggles in SX, gets dropped by team because family is difficult to deal with, then repeat.

The masterpools seem lol real pieces of work. If I was pc I would be flying someone down there and renting a van to pick up our bikes n stuff.

Not that it’s ever good to piss anyone off in the industry, but I would think Mitch would be in the top 2 of people you’d never want to do that to if you wanted a future in your riding/industry career…

He’s not fast enough to act this way

Expanding on that, Mitch allowed him to train on his own in Texas and the Masterpools weren't communicating with the team during his prolonged injury until they said they're ready to race 4 days before the next national. That was not enough notice to get the logistics in place to have him ready to go for them that weekend. Then Ty goes on to say later in multiple interviews that he would've returned to racing earlier but PC wouldn't let him. Prime example of why PC prefers to not let their guys just go run loose on their own programs...

What do you mean? They signed him, he's still not great at SX and apparently is hard to work with, so they didn't extend his contract.

Masterpool got a lot of fans while on the 450. He should keep in mind how far being a fan favorite has taken Plessenger and Wilson, and not burn his fan support over stupid moves like this. Sad part is, the story doesn't even have to be true, just believed. Manage your optics.

That’s crazy. Want to do things your way and be difficult, but don’t want to send other peoples shit back. Crazy.

When are you posting your Silly Season update?

I really like this kid, but if this is true that’s not acceptable. Seems he or his family are hard to deal with which has gotten in the way of his team deals.

Matthes said in a podcast that PC has shipped him crates so that he can send back the bike (or bikes) and they've been there for a while, but they haven't shipped them back yet.

He gets around

Could the second Kawi spot be split SX/MX, between Justin Hill and Coldenhoff for example?

Nobody wants to do it because they don’t want to lose their spot on PC if it doesn’t work out in the 450 class. Imagine you say yes, it takes you a little while to acclimated, you’re busting your ass racing for a top 10 against former 250 champions, and you don’t get re-upped because they sign someone faster for the following year. It would be hard to go back down to the 250 class, and your spot at PC might be taken by someone else.

I think Garrett had a good showing on the Club 450, perhaps the Kawi factory ride, with pure training / testing dedication to full-450-status could bring him to the next level? Always been a fan of the kid.

My kids would be like "six sevennn"

Two fast bikes… in this economy?

So it's confirmed, they had at least one fast bike. Good work!
