Other than being paralyzed I wish I had Mitch problems. I don't feel sorry for him at all

He'll be fine. 30+ years doing this build a really thick skin

They should invest in a mental coach at Pro Circuit. AC with his small but costly mistakes, Austin sending like a mad man in practice...

I feel bad for Mitch, Austin, Adam, and the whole crew over there. The last few weeks have been rough.

Mitch been here so long he knows you need to lead just last lap. This year their team was strong and made those old generation Kawasakis look good.

I feel terrible for that entire team. I guess hang your hat knowing both of your riders for a period of time dominated both coasts and won more than anyone else. Theres no question as to who the top guys were this season.

Yup. Sexton and Ferrandis got to job done.

About all they can do now is regroup and look forward to the outdoors which I feel AC has a legit shot at the title. It’s been a season of highs and lows for Mitch.

Dude is most definitely gutted. Had two titles within reach. And I know I'm just moto daydreaming but, it would be cool as hell to see him put the team on Husqvarna. A throwback to Mitch's early years.

Feel bad just for Kawasaki in general. Imagine hiring two of the hottest prospects out of the amateurs and as they both finally put it together, they proceed to throw away their championships in the same year. Some serious loss of investment there.

Having a torn ACL equals thrown away now??

People act like they intentionally tried to crash or forgot how to ride a bike.

Did RV throw away the 2010 title because the track wore down to the plywood? No. Unfortunate circumstance. Sometimes you lose all traction, sometimes you get crossrutted. Sometimes you can save it sometimes you cant. Shit happens and it happens to everyone.

Dude, Forkner threw it away. Period. 100% on him.

AC threw it away too. There's no explaining away this stuff.

Edit: And yes RV threw it away in 2010.

Yes I feel bad for Mitch and the crew. Cianciarulo rode perfectly but the race gods change the end of the story.

Cianciarulo is in the same bandwagon like Roczen, Trey Canard, etc. The guy as a big talent, a lot of speed but also a grey cloud over his head.

Throwing it away in my mind is going for an aggressive pass thats not needed and crashing and then breaking your bike or yourself. Or cracking under pressure and not being on pace like tomac was doing early in the season.

Losing traction(like in RVs case) or getting cross rutted isnt 100% the riders fault every time. Those situations arent “throwing”. They happen to everyone unexpectedly even if youve hit that line 1000 times.

Did you see where Sexton crashed 3 times in practice this weekend. Did he choke too? It happens. Sometimes you get unlucky and get hurt. I get it, you don't like Austin, you've made that very clear

Easier for me to feel happy for Dylan. Nothing at all against Chase but that title is the definition of a gift. Dylan at least won some races against Adam and was close in points basically all season even with some bad luck. Chase got dominated and only won when the guy dominating got injured at the end of the season and couldn't race.

I think yes in this case because he was crashing in practice qualifying all season and it finally bit him.

With his speed he should just cruise more safely and take a 1-5th place fastest lap then mind F everyone by winning the heat and main convincingly.

They've never had a good season so ignorance is bliss in their case.
