Anyone read Matthes take on the after race situation?
Forkner is one of my favorite riders, so I'm not bashing on him but does anyone know what is going on?
The article mentioned he was 'out of shape' and Mitch was pissed or something...running top10 doesn't seem out of shape but it is out of character for someone with that much raw speed.
Anyone have respectful insight?

R1 he had the 19th fastest lap which was a 2.16 compared to a 2.10 for Hampshire. It was a 5.6 seconds gap.
R2 he had a 2.17 compared to a 2.12 for Jett, about 5 sec a lap.
He really need to turn it up...
The Shop
Not to derail from Forkner, but anyone know what happened to Mosimans bike 2nd moto? Looks like he lost all power with about 5 laps to go, was not even attempting the bigger jumps.
He isnt ready, if his injuries are holding him back, fitness wise, Outdoors isnt the place to try and hide.
Pit Row
With the luck Mitch has had lately, he would let Forkner go and the dude would sign with Star and win a championship.
Is it premature to say Forkner doesn't give a shit about outdoors? If he did he would be in some sort of shape, seems he just wants to make that easy supercross money and bang the monster models.
I never saw him go as fast as a guy like Justin Cooper or Max Vohland, and they were always tearing his Kawi down and rebuilding it at the track off the back of the truck between practice motos. I swear every time I saw that bike sitting at the back of the PC box van with the subframe and tank off.
Maybe it is a medical thing, because he sure put in the practice laps. The guy is sure talented, I wonder what is going on.
Definitely was expecting more from him to start the outdoors. Who knows what's going on but if he doesn't quickly get up to speed, especially heading east where he likes the tracks better, it would be a huge letdown. Unless he does actually have some sort of physical issue, but I would imagine if that were the case he would have noticed it while training for outdoors and either get it fixed or mention what's going on.
