Yes he's only 22, but in this sport your pretty much done at 27, so he's 5 yrs away. I agree with one of the other members that moving him to a 450 is not going to make a difference. Cooper Webb and AC had some epic battles on minis, but Webb is in his second year on a 450. This sport moves very fast and careers are short (this is not NASCAR) and some injuries can last a lifetime. Love AC. but he will never be competitive on a 450.

Calling this post stupid would be an insult to stupid.

Not gonna take any low ball shots at you guys but if he keeps racing my comments will come to pass. You have to know when its time to quit.

Anyone who is done at 27, wants to be done at 27. Reed is 37. Marv is 29. Chris Blose is 31.

By your standards about 3/4 of the current riders should retire.

You have given absolutely zero rationale as to why (in your mind) he should quit the sport. Yea, walking away from a factory ride (and factory paycheck) makes a ton of sense. Bro. ???????????

Good grief. Dude will get it figured out. Tough night of character building for him, but he will be fine

Stupid.. also, this is webbs 3rd season on a 450. So Adam has plenty of time to win in the 450 class.

He shouldn't quit.. and maybe he will be a late john dowd type bloomer.. but the o.p. is right... How many titles did ricky have at 22, reed, james, barcia, poto, dungey?

This is precisely why i draw the comparison of mini days of villopoto/Alessi.. to this webb/AC stuff

Lets say he never wins a title. But over the next 8 years as a rider he earns lets say 8 million dollars between sponsors, contracts and race win bonuses. Tell me again why he should retire?

This isn't even a low ball shot, that is quite possibly the worst take ever.

You shouldn't flatter this idiot with a reasonable response.
But you're right.

Ignorant post about someone who shows class and intelligence in his worst times and has great humility in his successes. Not sure what would provoke such a comment other than total ignorance of who the comment is being made about or what we all know is the most realistic reason, jealousy.

Nonsense, sounds like the flat earth society to me.

Also, how old are we? And what were we doing at 22, I was killing brain cells, not riding pro circuit Kawi's, and somehow I don't think anyone punching keys on here at the age of 22 is racing bikes they didn't pay for at the top level of a premier sport. To say he needs to think of retiring is pretty petty, maybe you shoulda hung up your boots before you ever put them on, cuz somehow if you were a success like Adam C, we'd be watching you on a different screen, one where your on a bike instead of typing things out with the rest of us Wink

Haters gonna hate right T swift! Wink lolz!!!!
