I don’t think “coming back from injury” is the correct way to phrase it. He was racing professional sx before he got cleared to do ANY weight bearing following surgery. In other words, limp along with the assistance of crutches. I’d say he’s a f^*>ing beast for being out there.

It's sad to see him out there in last or near last for whatever the reasons,

I would hope he would announce his retirement soon if and after he gets just a few more starts,
After all thats the only professional SX title he can aim for.

I would say he is done, It must be an impossible task to train and put the effort required after all the injuries, age,
lets be real mentally he has already attained his personal goals way back, time has caught him.

Thank him for entertainment he provided us with.

Seems he’ll need a great start and some luck to get out of the LCQ.

He got smoked by Alex Ray in koalafying.

You say Alex Ray like he's slow. Alex has made all five mains so far and is getting better every weekend (16th last race).

You guys are aware that it has been a full 16 weeks since his ankle injury at straight rhythm right?

I was surprised to see him at 25th. Not good. I was hoping for better since he got to practice this past week. I'm pulling for the old guy to get a top 10 finish here soon.

To me it's the opposite. I think it"s badass that he's out there, mid thirties, racing injured and still making mains.

Normally I'm annoyed with his mid pack results.

Wow. A full 16. Best case scenario, it's a non-weight bearing injury till 12 and he raced before that. What a pussy.

and no mid week riding/testing/training. How many guys you know only riding the weekends are making the main every week? If you think of it like that, that's pretty darn badass

Hate when he gets a good start and Ralph has to start slobbering all over him. Then he fades.
