Where is the Media on this stuff lately?
Just curious Did any of you read anywhere that Malcolm had a big practice crash before St Louis?
It seems like either during the race or the next day all kinds of stuff is coming out that would be nice to know before the Race starts. Is it because of fantasy?

Fantasy related? Nah.
The Shop
Why would it matter, except for fantasy or betting?
Matthes said that he asked about the bike after the practice crash. He was told they just threw it in the trash. LOL.
Also, not for nothing but every team manager in the pits watches him ride and wonders if he is the guy that could unleash that massive potential.
A "major parts failure" causing a top level rider to crash and hurt himself is big news. Is the industry so small and protective of itself that no journo is prepared to investigate and report on it?
Earlier in this topic I made an incorrect comment that the MCR boys have had some probs this week (that I've since deleted as my dense self had a moment and forgot that Brayton is now HRC ), but on this, are the two incidents (Brayton's dramas on Saturday night and Mookie's during the week) related at all (Honda/Honda) or completely different?
Pit Row
Been around plenty of race tracks to hear that statement. So why keep pestering on specifics ? Let it go!
And yes I was speculating that maybe the media isn't sharing every thing as much. Because of fantasy. Might sound Crazy but go listen to a pulp podcast right before the season started. And you can hear it right from the horses mouth. JT straight out says I am planning to not play this year and I think I can do a better job and be more open and not try to keep my best info. I'm not sure on the exact words.
But you can tell that he is insinuating that he and others
Are not always fully forthcoming for fantasy purposes.
And I get it. But it always frustrates me when right after the Gate drops. So and so was sick. And Blank had a big get off and couldn't practice all week. And XYZ twisted his knees while riding Hookers bareback. You get the drift.
They have the industry league etc.
So make you wonder.
Did any one hear Barcia was sick?
I didn't until after.
Did y'all hear that Webb was worse not better. ?
And there were a couple more.
I dunno maybe it's not that.
But I don't know if that's better or worse lol.
1. People just not doing a good job of staying up on current events? Or
2.< they know everything because it's a small sport.
With a lot of industry insiders and news travels fast.
But aren't necessarily sharing all the information.
Wich is it?
"There was a video made by a rider and an industry insider that claimed that the rider DNF’ed the World Vet Championship because his FCP head stays broke. The video got some play, but it was not true. Yamaha confirmed that the rider suffered a major engine failure (which accounted for his DNF) and FCP’s Kris Palm said that neither the head stays nor motor mounts broke, and he had the parts to prove it. The two are lucky not to have been sued."
