What we are seeing is right now he is getting back up and finishing that moto! CR isn't finished cause he knows he still has it. He won't lie to himself and continue this on the sheer risk alone. The guy will get back up and win races and contend for championships! He knows the speed and he knows he has to be able to obtain it.
This is why we all sit here and talk MOTO! Moto is the most complex rewarding female we have ever met! It excites us all in the same way! It also could bring you to your knees just as fast! Come on 40 wide on the start of an outdoor national.. If that doesn't make your hair stand up on the back of your neck, you sir are....!
There is so many aspects to it!
There is the mental. I can't recall how many "next great things" I have unfortunately seen not make it do to sheer head problems alone. Riders that will destroy you at a local track or practice but go to an outdoor looks like he just is left over from C Practice.
The physical side of it. Racers who just won't put in the training. Training to the level that they all go! It's for a reason. It gives you that edge...
Then you have the machine.. The level they all ride at to me Moto now is all about setup. If these guys aren't happy with setup he isn't going to be himself!
It all goes back to mental.
Personally he is uncomfortable with whatever aspect it is bike/body. Until he is comfortable in all aspects he won't be what he knows he can be.
Please remember everyone the reason we respect these guys is cause we don't know the speed they are going.
On top of all that he is running his team! I don't know if we can ALL comprehend on what goes into that. I mean pitching to companies. The guy assembled himself the allstar line up of personel around him.
Ill stop my rant after this:
Best case scenario! Two Two Motorsports gets picked up by the JGR squad. JGR adds another team to their program. Like they do in NASCAR. With full Yamaha support! Chads infrastructure is kept in tact that he has built. That program he put together is championship capeable. He feels good on the bike, happy with his program. Goes out and contends for race wins and championships along side the Ryan's, JS7, BamBam, Trey, Davi and anyone else that has their shit together! Really we all win cause we get to witness it!
The Shop
Hes also been much more active in social media like he was when things were going good. It looks like hes feeling better every week.
Reed in top 6 this weekend! Go Chad and team 22!!
Also, how come Honda didnt give Shorty a ride? He's doing wayyyyy better than Reed atm, yet he didnt even get a standard bike from honda when his team disbanded. He's surely an icon to the sport.
Sick or healthy he can never touch RV JBS RD even Barcia & Canard
Straight from the lips of Parts Unlimited people was that he's a loon with a screwed up Witch Doctor giving him advice .
Fox took a gamble signing him to that Shift deal. Next year Husky's wearing HJC lids , TCX Boots & MSR gear .
Not to mention having time to be a dad for two little ones.
Anyone who owns their own business knows that it takes a ton of time. How can you train at the level you need to when business deals are going around in your head?
Plus, I'll bet the bank statement for Two-Two Motorsports has him bummed every month, i don't care how many millions he has in the bank.
I'm guessing right about now Chad is very torn between being a racer or a team owner.
If it were me, I would say now is the time to be the owner and get off the bike before he gets hurt.
Pit Row
Personally, I think unless he can concentrate on riding a dirt bike and leave everything else to someone else, he should get out.
As opposed to a normal competent Witch Doctor?
JT$ you're his bud, how come Chad is not in Fly Gear? So what if you had to take a massive pay cut so they could pay Chads contract??
Now for next years color ?
There are lots of teams with injured/sick riders. They do take the right decision to just be there as a team, be it without a rider at the gate or with a replacement rider. Thats how professionals do it.
