Well, if he had it would have been one in a long line of retirements. He's made quitting into an art form. When he retires now, it's not even news. I don't really give a damn, but if he's going to call other guys a disgrace to the sport because they dropped out of a race, maybe they should take a quick look at his own record.

And you're right about Troy. He crashed in the first moto, finished, rode the second moto and THEN quit. If he could ride the second moto, why couldn't he ride the next week? What a disgrace. If I remember right, Honda had to get Mike Larocco to ride the 450 because Hughes couldn't drag himself out there.

Whatever. It's not the first stupid thing the village idiot screamed in the town square and probably won't be the last.

Ryan Hughes went 13-4 at Troy in 2001 on that "works" Honda.

So yeah, he crashed the first moto and got 13th. Came out and got 4th second moto for 6th overall. Maybe it was another Ryan Hughes you speak of?

I hate when facts get in the way of a good story.

I don't agree with what he tweeted.

BUT NOBODY has had MORE heart than Ryno in this sport. Many have been equal, but nobody has had more. As far as heart is concerned, he is right up there with all the greats.

You do know he didn't get that payout right? You do know he came back and rode for KTM after that and nearly won a 125cc championship.....

There is NOTHING wrong with him trying to cash out on his insurance policy when he did. He didn't quite, he was being told it was over by doctors. He rightfully had an opportunity to cash in when injuries would have forced a regular guy out of the sport. When his insurance policy was not fulfilled due to legal mumbo jumbo he came back to continue to ride. Most riders would never have been able to comeback and compete for a national championship after taking that time off through all that.

If you rightfully pay THOUSANDS into an insurance and then get hurt to where you are being told you need to retire, it isn't quitting. It's being smart.

It was a bad tweet. It doesn't define him as a human being.

Just for shits and giggles -

Why didn't he ride the next week? After riding that second moto and getting 4th? (make sure to do your homework on this)

Just calling em like I see em. Ryno is a douche bag with a big mouth. I'll never forget him taking KTMs money for two years, getting hurt in '04 and saying on TGO "At least I don't have to ride that bike any more." His bike was way too slow with unleaded to compete with the 250Fs that year. Of course, there was only one guy on a 125 who was competitive that year - a guy named James Stewart, who clearly had the slowest bike out there but never bitched about it once. You remember him...he won the championship that year, like he had in '02 and would go 24-0 in '08. And won two SX titles. The guy that Ryno thinks is a disgrace to the sport.

"Taking KTM's money" - another good one! I mean he didn't reward KTM with a vice championship and another decent year in which EVERYONE, including JS7 was at a huge disadvantage against the 250f's. Didn't earn it, he just took it.

And are you saying that KTM didnt pay him? That seems to be a recurring theme in Rynos life. Nobody pays him. It's hard to understand why.

Look, it's all in good bench racing. You don't like him, I do. He sent a bad tweet.

Here is the point of the tailgate bench racing where I cheers you with a beer, call you a dork and agree to disagree.

They all worked hard but relatively speaking those guys were on cruise control when it came to training, preperation, blood sweat and tears.

If James hurt his wrist and didn't feel safe on the track he should be applauded for pulling off rather than being out of control and staying out there where he doesn't belong. I know these guys make it look easy on TV but jesus christ.

Any publicity is good publicity, all the former riders or coaches have to do is give a negative comment to Stewart and they are famous all over again. IMO Stewart has never been the same since breaking that navicular bone in his wrist in 2010. There is a new breed taken over and their names are Ryan.

If Stewart hurt his wrist again or didn't feel safe for himself and other riders then he did the right thing.
