I hope he gets some decent results so he can get a permanent ride in the GP’s.

This is BOS official release after A-Rod was "injured" in Lommel.
"Anthony Rodriguez sidelined for the next races
Back in France, Anthony spent time to evaluate the gravity of his lower back injury.
After a medical check-up, the good news is that nothing is really serious or demanding a surgery.
The bad news is that the injury on the muscle will need rest and physio for at least a couple of weeks.
Without time on the bike, Anthony will not be able to line-up in Imola or Uddevalla, for the next MXGP races.
So the goal will be to be back at 100% for Turkey.
The all team wish Anthony the best recovery."
Obviously, their wishes came true since A-Rod ran away as fast as he could and is racing Imola this we for another team...
After Searle escaping to KRT, the BOS team saga looks more and more like the new season of "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here"!

BOS FACTORY AND RODRIGUEZ SHAKE HANDS
Anthony Rodriguez : "I love Europe and the MxGP is really where i want to race. Thanks to Olivier and the BOS Factory for their welcome.
After my back injury in Lommel, i stayed in Belgium around the KEMEA team with all my friends and even tried to race one small race in Belgium with them.
it was a big mistake from my side, not respecting my BOS FACTORY-KAWASAKI Europe contract.
I thought i would be faster on another bike and wasn't.
I thought my back will allow me to race at 100% but it didn't.
i really apologize for this mistake, and now i prefer to focus on the future"
Olivier Bossard "Anthony has all my respect. It's tough to race professionnaly at this level and we did what we could to please him by giving him the opportunity to come and race here in MxGP.
I'm sad to see him react like that and we all miss the Anthony from last year also.
But at one point, it's not the bike and he has to admit it.
the 450KXF is an awesome bike, and our technology added to it scored this year 10 top 15 in MxGP + the leadership in the British Championship.
What he did is unacceptable for the team, the sponsors and the people working daily at BOS Factory.
I'm also sad to see other teams signing riders without asking an official realease.
But i will never block a young racer to do what he loves the most.
That's why we directly found a gentleman aggreement, allowing everybody to move forward"
Anthony will be allowed to race with another team starting the MxGP of Italy in Imola

"To hide away from your responsibilities, you talk.
You say you're a professional rider, but are you really...
When your training bike’s hourmeter shows 2.4h after 3 weeks of preparation for your return in GP.
When you spent your time visiting the South West of France and Spain for two weeks in the car your team lent you to go train.
When you behave badly with the people who have welcomed and hosted you.
When your scale shows at least 5 to 7 kg more than it should.
When you can not make a fast lap because your handlebar is 2.6 mm too far back.
When you can’t ride because the sole of your boots is 2 millimeters higher than you want.
When on your first day of riding your boss already has doubts about your ability to move forward.
When you question a bike that had several top 10 with other riders before you.
When you think you are a great developer and after three weeks of wading, you find out that the bike provided on the first day is the one that suits you best.
When you explain your team you know you’ll make the top 5 and that you’re 13 seconds a lap behind.
When you lie to your team, explaining that you have back pain when you realize that you are a laborious 25th in qualifying.
When you struggle to jump a table that an amateur would whip over for fun.
When you can’t last longer than 15 minutes in training.
When you’re almost 7 seconds a lap slower than a retired racer on your team’s practice track.
When you are scared of your bike’s power delivery.
When your teammate, who has been a real top 3 pilot in this category, is surprised by your behavior.
I could go on and on with this list.
If I accepted previous riders comments out of respect for their work and their involvement, I can’t take it from you.
In my whole career amidst true champions, I've never seen such a liar and pitiful rider."
ARod his mistakes are that he was indeed slower then Pierrick Paget (the retired rider if I'm informed correctly). That isn't really something to be proud of. That his changes on the bike didn't helped him to produce better results was also something we've all seen and we've have also all seen that Tommy Searle his best results on BOS were quite the same as on the KRT Factory team (In begin of the season scoring seventh in ARG then 12th in GBR combined this with the injured riders who weren't riding at the end of the season and you see what I wanna say)... So was it the bike? No ARod said it himself the bike wasn't the biggest the problem, but he kept moaning about the bike and didn't even put in the work.
Then saying your back is hurt, but riding the Belgian Championship on the Yamaha Hutten motor. Dunno what to think about that. On Yamaha, the results went a little better, but if he really needs to have a professional team like Hutten around him to score those kind of results... Then he better hang up those boots. Hutten will be the Factory Yamaha EMX250 team in 2020, that isn't a fluke. So again if he needs a team who is organized like a factory team to score his best result a 14th in the Grand Prix of Turkey where even only 25 riders started, he better hang up those boots and start working or studying. Teams who pay and give you free material are already a gift from god.
Are you really serious on that one ?
Yes BOS seems to be a minor shitshow, but make it clear for the public what exactly went wrong.
PS: You're Frenchie you probably even know more about what went wrong.
For the rest, I guess you can say everything that could go wrong went wrong.
It is kind of hard to believe all of Olivier’s claims when you can see people like renowned rider, Eric Sorby, posting and commenting on social media about how hard Anthony works to achieve his dream.
When you have a team secretly replacing parts and not letting the rider know- their safety is at risk and that is not worth ANY FREE MATERIALS OR MONEY.
Also, how many riders can switch to an entire different bike and compete against the top athletes in the MXGP class who have been riding and training with the same materials for an entire year. Give me a break dude.
Having said that i am really surprised by what BOS has been posting online in the past year or so and feel they have been very amateuristic and showed very little respect to a bunch of (former) riders in those posts. Not sure if it is that bad that those 2 rides are gone.
