Just saw a photo of a rider who has missed all of SX and MX with several injuries. Injuries suck and I think a rider should return until they are %100 healthy but this rider has been posting pics on his IG for about a month now of him riding and racing mountain bikes. I've heard certain media members say unfavorable things about him referring to he's lazy, unmotivated and doesn't want to ride and I just kind of brushed it off but now I see what they're talking about. I think it's pretty scummy to collect a paycheck from a team who put all of their chips in you yet you won't ride for them because you're too injured yet can do MTB races which are also pretty gnarly. I'm sure I will get jumped on for you don't if he's injured. Why the fck is he racing MTB's then? What if you we're the owner of the team and you put YOUR hard earned money into this guy and he shows no desire to be out there representing your brand?

Do you know how the contract was structured?

Do you know if there is a contingency for just this type of situation that may have an insurance component?

Do you know if all of the pay relies on performance based metrics?

Do you know if he is doing the MTB under the care of a physical therapist as a targeted regime of rehab?

He was doing XC.

FWIW, I remember RC and CR22 both doing XC races during injury rehab. Not trying to take sides, just saying that its not exactly unheard of to race a mountain bike while rehabbing.

Xc isnt gnarly its long distance riding even the olympic xc riders were lifting there bikes over pretty tame obstacles . If it was gnarly he would have a full face helmet on .

Now I know why you guys get the wrap of VITARDS. It's because some of you are complete fcking morons. This is why people make fun of Vital. Honeslty I didn't want to join for the longest time because there's so many fanboys who hold blind allegiances. I've heard people say this about Davi for years. Jason Thomas is the most laid back politically correct person I've ever heard and even he is willing to say Davi just doesn't want to ride and is saving himself for SX and factory Kawi. Use your small brains and figure out that if Davi has been riding a mountain bike for a months and he's now posting pics of himself racing gnarly MTB courses that something fishy is going on. I've heard soooooooooooo many people who have either ridden with Davi or managed him or worked with his program say he is lazy and unmotivated.
