I want to see a Mookie that comes into a full season with the proper preparation. I guess that will never happen, it's a shame.

It surprises me even more how much people care.
Some people need to aknowledge, that there is a pretty big probability MS will never become a legendary top rider. He probably doesn't give a flying fuck about it anyway. James had to become the best, it was the entire family on his shoulders at some point. Malcolm is talented, but he'll never ever have that motivation to go all in.
Not like he had a Fox gear deal making 100k per win either.
With that being said, preparation and the stress that goes along with that makes it virtually impossible to be competitve unless you hire a team and that takes another $45,000 or so. Going at it alone is a very unreasonable decision for a young man with a such high expectations. Its almost easier to ride as a underrated prvateer than js7 brother.
I think Malcolm should have ridden outdoors and he has had a couple of offers to help make that happen. It's his decision to turn to take the low road less traveled. Albiet a very bad decision but his nonetheless. I honesty think he is a better mxer than sxer so it would have been nice to see him on a jgr bike for the remainder of the year.
Seriously, I, like others here, believe that if he really wanted to race the nationals he would've been focusing 100% on full time racing. It's fine with me. Hope he enjoys his summer whatever he's got planned.
Wilson would have grabbed the offer UpTiTe speaks to in a heartbeat. Look where he is now.
Pit Row
Honestly though he should be on Webb's bike as a fill in over Alex Ray.
I wonder if it was the equipment and/or level of support or maybe gear conflict..or simply about the money? He's said he won't go anywhere that has team gear deals. Staying loyal to Seven.
I wonder how much money he can spend doing the bass fishing thing?
That's a pretty popular sport here in Texas. Some money to be made, but a whole lot of money goes into it as well.
This is probably a budget issue for JGR. Cant fault them or Malcolm for treating this like a business.
Malcolm just needs to stay ready. Bogle will be back on the couch soon enough.
He has massive talent, but if he is not driven to constantly be in peak physical condition, he is not going to be given rides. Get in shape, get a box van, race the first 2 races, finish top 10.... I would bet a weeks pay, he would have a ride.
Life is ALWAYS not about what you have done, but what you can do now.
Wishing him health and speed. I am a Malcom fan! JS too.
