Brayton mechanic?

This is very surprising. Sounds like they didn't give him enough heads up either....

Here is a cool article TWMX did with Duff earlier this month:

MCR hired Tony Berluti to wrench for JB now. Not sure on the reasoning behind the split with Duffe, I just heard about it yesterday.

Tony Berluti knows his shit. He was part of the Suzuki factory team back in the day and always had good riders. I wish him and JB10 the best in '18.

MCR is a top notch crew, sucks to see Brayton and Duff split up but great hire in Berluti.

Nice work MG & TA. MotoConcepts is my favorite team.

Stoked to see Berlut back on the scene!

Also why would the split be this late in the year?

Don't know why they split, but Berluti is taking the job.

Both of them are from Iowa, can't imagine it was any conflict between the two. I think Berluti just has more experience.

Fuck yes.. Great asset to the team. An adopted norcal boy.

It wasn't either of their choice.

Can you elaborate?

From what I understand (and I've only heard one side) apparently there was some back-and-forth over the team headsets that didn't sit well with the management.

Sounds like a convenient excuse to make already desired changes. Unless it was a 'Universe' comment...that's worthy of a firing.

If you say so. Waiting until way late into silly season to let someone know that they won't be back (and just about all the prime opportunities to wrench on other teams have been filled) seems a bit on the petty side.

So Tony is still there
