Was listening to Mathes and Weege talk about Marvin on one of pods today, they seem to be edging towards him being potentially done racing? Seems very odd that he hasn't been riding after having surgery over 6 months ago. They mentioned it might be something to do with Brian Moreau and his brother both getting paralysed racing and maybe that has affected him a bit to much to carry on? Anyway, I hope it isn't the last we see of the Frenchman out there.
Total respect to whichever decision he makes, but I hope he's there for outdoors!
Either way, I hope he gets himself healthy and, if he decides to call it, he's got nothing to be ashamed of.

Really hope it's just a lingering issue with his knee that's taking longer than expected to heal and we get to see him again at some point.
Just as we are wildly speculating here, so was that podcast.
Maybe he had way more wrong with his knee than we knew? Maybe he is just taking more time to get it right. Whatever the case, I hope he comes back soon.
If I were Dylan I definitely wouldve jumped to KTM over riding that YZ450 bec I think most would agree his chances of success are much better but it still doesnt hurt to get paid! LOL
I think there is more going on at team 25 than we know. Matthes has tried to get info but everyone is tight lipped. Normally at this point there would be some statement that he'll be ready for MX. We now have July 18 as a firm(ish) date for outdoors, so if we don't see anything from KTM on Musquin being ready to go in the next 10 days then I will really start to think retirement might be on the table.

Changing gears here, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Marvin calls it a career. I've had the thought before, especially with him missing this SX season with injury. Between his age, his own injuries, his brother Mickael's paralysis, and now Brian, I know what I'd do. He's had a great career. On top of that, I'm sure Mathilde being this close to Brian's injury (which is an awesome thing of her to do) is changing her support of Marvin's racing. How could it not?
Marvin posted a picture on IG today of him riding his standup jet ski. I'm no doctor, but those things are just as hard on your knees as a dirt scooter. Time will tell, but IMO, it is increasingly doubtful that Marvin will return to racing.
Lets hope DF will be next one in KTM team.
Any update on Brian’s condition?
If he does hang it up though, he has had a hell of a career and I am sure will have a hell of a retirement.
He takes lot of time for his re-education, re-athletics ? Clever to him.
