Pretty dumb not to mention BT as a title contender, he hauls on a 450 and has big championship experiance on that machine.

"Believe it or not, writers make mistakes. Although it’s hard for any writer to swallow pride and admit a wrongdoing, it happens. I’m going to live up to a mistake I made two weeks ago in the Mid-Week Report. It didn’t become known to me until this past Thursday, when I noticed my so-called buddy Ben Townley out on the track at Glen Helen. I waved to him as I took photos. He shook his head at me (not in the nice way). I thought nothing of it. Later, while cruising the pits, I approached him. Normally amiable and social, he looked at me like I was befouling the air he breathed. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: Hey Ben, how are you?
Ben: Don’t talk to me.
Me: Huh? Why not?
Ben: You know why.
Me: Are you messing with me?
Ben: No. Seriously don’t talk to me.

With that, he huffed away. I was left scratching my head. After all, this was the same guy that I had spent a day at the track with two months ago doing a huge interview with. Ben had typically been one of the nicest riders to talk to. Not only that, we’re like twins! Okay, not really, but we do have (almost) matching scars from recent surgeries. So why was he mad-dogging me? I failed to mention him as a contender for the AMA 450 National title this summer in a recent Mid-Week Report. Cry me a river.
Ben (because I know that you’re reading this), sorry. You probably should have figured when you didn’t see your name mentioned anywhere on the list that I made an error. Oops. Now get over it. You’re fast. Of course you have the chance to win the title, especially if you remain healthy. This should go without saying, considering that MXA devoted a good chunk of editorial space just for you - yes, you. Now do me a favor and put that Troy Lee Designs/Honda bike on the box. "

I don't get BT either. He was my buddy when he was doing well at PC and I even helped him get a Kicker deal when he called me to ask if I could.

Then I write a few things about his injuries, make a joke about needing to be wrapped in bubble wrap and he stops talking to me. Won't return calls, won't talk to me at the races, kind of acts like a baby. After talking to Coppins and his buddy at KTM, they both confirm that he gets butt-hurt easily.

I don't think anyone can say at this point that he's a title contender with all that he's been through but it'll be interesting to see how he does for sure. I'm pulling for him, it'll be a great story if he can do it.

450 class competitor? Yes.
Title contender? After being on the shelf for so long? Making that claim might be a stretch until he proves it.

Right now I'd be really stoked to see him make it through a 450-class season. And I'd love to be proven wrong.
