Think again. In WRC is 3 factory teams and one factory supported. And there is four world class drivers without the contract for next year. Seems like we have bad times in motosport.

You think that's in MX/SX not enough factory seats?

Like I told many times before. Its tight in the top. Nobody have to be sorry for guys who don't have a contract.Team owners are not stupid ones. It's pure and simple. if you don*t sucseeded in your chosen ''job''. You dont't have any choice than quit racing, it's sad, but true. Fnd yourself a proper job, untill it's too late. It's mayby harsh, but it's true. How many talents wasted trying to sucseed in this sport and finally finds themselves in mid 30ies without any options in their life.

Seriously? I think why he posted is to show it’s not just our fringe sport that has problems with top riders not getting factory rides?

There's only so many rides available. How much more do you want? SX is where the money is at and considering there's only 22 gates to fill I think there's enough rides.
Let's take a look.
Factory Yamaha = 2 seats
Factory Honda = 2 seats
Factory KTM = 2 seats
Factory Husky = 5 seats
Factory Kawasaki = 2 seats
Factory Suzuki = 6 seats
RM ATV/MC = 2 seats
Star Yamaha = 4 seats
Pro Circuit = 4 seats
Geico Honda = 5 seats
TLD KTM = 4 seats
Then you have
MotoConcepts = 4 seats
AJE Gas Monkey = 3 seats
Cycle Trader = 3 seats
HEP Motorsports = 4 seats
Phoenix Racing = 3 seats
Rockwell Yamaha = 2 seats
Club MX/Redemption MX = 4 seats
450 Rides = 26 seats / 15 Factory rides
250 Rides = 36 seats / 23 Factory rides
So out of 62 possible rides 38 of them are full factory rides.

I'm sorry about the current events and situations in your life, and I will for sure be keeping you and your family in my prayers.
With that said, I do think maybe wording some of the topics differently might not make the topics sound so bad. I get that English probably isn't your first language and that is probably most of what is going on here. Not to say you are wording it wrong, but the translation probably isn't coming across correctly to some guy here. Some are just jerks in general, but as you know most of the guys here aren't bad dudes.

This being downvoted is a microcosm to a bigger issue in society right now. Not only was an opportunity to be compassionate towards another human completely missed (go find another couch is such an incredibly dickheadish attitude), but Keinz replies in a completely reasonable way (especially for someone going through something and being treated like shit). It's totally fine to not like Keinz's posts, but just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you need to share it. It's entirely possibly to move on and not think twice about the few seconds of annoyance while you mitigate your boredom interacting with others about a sport you love. Emotional intelligence will take one far in life.

I dunno.. At times I wonder if the massive salaries and all the bling that goes with it are really what some look for
in a Champion.
How many times do you see a guy just hanging on for the money?
Or placing good because a really good team is proping him up with exceptional equipment or backing?
Or using the sport as a springboard to sell soap or whatever?
To some, the allure of all this is seeing a guy that really loves it, grab the brass ring. A guy that would be riding or racing in his spare time from a real job, if that's all he could do.
Hey, this thing all but implodes, the factories go away, the big money goes away, what are we left with?
A bunch of guys that do it because they really want to. Not because Dad wants him to. Not because he will be a kinda rock star. Not for the money. To do it only for the race, for the ride, how terrible would that be.
