Or maybe that he finished 3rd overall in mx behind Ferrandis and Martin?
I'm not a fan of his by any stretch but underperforming isn't the word you're looking for.

That matched his best ever SX finish and was by far his best MX overall finish.
People need to rethink their standards as fans in this sport. He got beat by 2 guys riding factory 450s next year and a dude who already has 2 titles outdoors.
That being said, Mookie is the much safer 450 bet for at least SX only for next year, but if Shane lands on an MCR bike, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him beat Mookie either, at least in SX. Dude can rail SX tracks. He’s like 2 bad decisions away from being a two-time champion and then we are having an entirely different discussion.
Looks good.
He tied for 6th in the standings in 2020. In 2019, he was 7th in the standings before he went out with a broken femur. In 2018, he was 7th overall in the series and didn't even race all the races!
So collectively coming into 2020 he had about two seasons worth of races under his belt. He also landed on the best equipment of his 450 career. Put the two together and he had his best year ever. Now he’s on factory equipment for the first time on a 450.
With a move to an even higher level team, higher expectations, and a strong year under his belt I think it’s reasonable to expect him to improve, barring injury.
I think he needs to be 4-6th in points, win his first career 450 race, or get several podiums to meet expectations for next year.
It isn’t unreasonable to expect him to improve for the next 2-3 seasons before hitting a wall. He is still going, just now hitting his physical prime, and has continuity with a trainer.
If he stays healthy, I think he is the best rider on the team next year, with some close battles with DF who will crash out of a few races as all rookies do.
This year is gonna be so sick.

And check your stats where he finished at in 2018...
