Where is Savatgy mentally now?

Please dear God get rid of that beard that makes him look like a Troll equivalent. Sorry, someone needed to say it.

The worlds fastest Amish

I don't think he's still suffering from the SX championship drama. I'm sure it was devastating at the time, but one regional SX title does not make or break a career. Plenty of guys have shown that. Getting 3 or 4 titles throughout an entire 250 career would be a different story obviously.

The problem for him is he's likely in the 'boring' category like so many others when you look at his value for the 450 class. He's in line with Grant, Bogle, Wilson, etc. He'll definitely show flashes of brilliance but will he contend for titles? not likely.

The whole crew needs a shot in the arm....I suggest a motivational team-building visit to Hooters.

Exactly!

He reminds me so much of dungey, but dungey mental toughness is what made dungey the champion that he is.

I think he needs a change big time. New trainers, new team etc. Distance himself from all the problems and what not hes had

You should drink some monster, bro. Unleash the beast.

I would love to see him on a solid 450 program. I have a completely random inkling he may replace Bogle at JGR

This, and stop by Costco on the way to pick up a 24 pack of paper towels

This, the Hooters Hex is still in effect.

Needs a change would be cool to see him on tld or star

Hooters 2016. Add that to your poll.

"1 regional SX title does not make or break a career" better hide that fact from the Mookie fan boys on here

He pointed out, off to the 450 class now.

He needs to mentally change his thought process from “WE” to “I”.... until he realizes it’s himself out there not a village he might start doing better.

Ya I know I was more saying this season. Don’t really understand why he pointed out before AP but hopefully he does well in 450s

His riding was on point at Lakewood. Fastest qualifier, should have won first moto, good comeback ride from the crash in the first turn in 2nd moto. He can take that away as positives.

To me, from what any of us can see from the outside, he just does not seem to be enjoying things at the races. He's always super-hard on himself even when he's on the podium. Some of that for sure is the "Meanie Jeannie" effect, pretty sure training down there turns into some weird form of Stockholm Syndrome.

With the contract structure at PC, paying for wins and podiums, does Mitch owe Savatgy some money for a mechanical DNF based on the circumstances as to when the bike expired?

Probably not.

He just needs to get out of the 250 class. He's chasing the little golden snitch that is in the 250 class, you get close to it and next thing you know you're spending your entire career in the class. He needs to be on a 450 next year (I'm pretty sure he pointed out, but I'm not positive). He has a smooth riding style with good technique, and the 450 will probably suit him well.

He pointed out because he just finished his 6th year in SX. 2013-2018.

AP just finished his 4th season in SX.

that's besides the whole points threshold deal

I think the best thing would be for mitch to include a little extra money for his next win as a “sorry”.

Then Savatgy should kick back money to pro circuit every time he falls or has a brain fart . if that was the case he would be riding for free or even owe Mitch money.

To be fair Dungey wasn't always the mentally tough champion that we saw win the 2017 SX series, in his early years as a pro he seemed to be easily rattled, i.e JLaw 2008. He obviously overcame that and became one of the best ever but my point is there is still plenty of time for Savatgy to learn from these things and be better for it.

He's mentally right up there with Einstein.

His wrecks are his own doing. He can wreck all he wants and is still going to get his base salary, which we are told is structured on the low side. It is an incentive based system.

When you are leading and about to win a moto in a convincing manner and the bike lets go, that's a different conversation that directly relates to lost earnings. I would love to see the clause in the contract that discusses mechanical failures
