Just to keep beating a dead horse, who checked out SLC observations?
http://www.racerxonline.com/2011/05/04/observations-salt-lake-city
"I did a BTOSports.com Racer X Podcast with Weege and Ping where Ping reported that Hansen has been pitting (getting dressed) in the Hart & Huntington truck the last few weeks before being made to go back to the Pro Circuit one by Mitch. Ping says he pleaded his case and was allowed to go back to his former team’s truck in SLC. Add to this what that I heard he was out at the Kawi SX track jacking with his teammate Tickle and making comments loud enough that Broc could hear, then the videos where he disparages Tickle here and there and it all adds up to a guy trying to play mind games with a teammate.
According to Ping, the guys at PC are a little bummed on Hansen’s attitude since the break. I don’t get it. The guy’s making a comeback in his career and life on a great team and he’s winning races. In his shoes, many people would be thanking Mitch and Monster Energy for all they have done for them, but Hansen feels like he has to act differently since he’s seen this championship slip away. As one close friend to of his told me late last year, “Hanny says he doesn’t want drama in his life but all he does in invite it in over and over” and that would appear to be the case in this championship chase as well."

Its a shame he got injured, and more so that he seems to be that punk rider again. He'll have a hard time winning in either class here or australia, by burning the bridge with Mitch....

What's Tickle's take?
Cunningham?
What about the guy he punted at Dodger Stadium? Jake Canada is his name.
Does Matthes like him?
Hanny made a dumb attempt at a takeout, but I'm not ready to lynch him quite yet. He knows it was stupid. Most other incidents this year looked like payback to me.
In moto being 135-155 is an ADVANTAGE!
So why do people post his weight as if it is a negative?
he was taking people out before, and nobody cared cause he was winning. now he has failed in a few attempts and the mob is really pouring it on.
i think its a collective chickenshit move by most.
so what if he's pulling mind games on his teammate. you think hes the first? its quite obvious that many of you have never raced on a "team" or have the slightest clue what goes on in pro racing when you have a "teammate". because of the universal meaning of the word "team", we all get confused into thinking that these guys are teammates the way magic johnson and kareem were. this isnt a stick and ball sport, not even close. hell, even in basketball teammates are in competition with each other.
teammates in motorsports only means you share the same equipment and sponsors. other than that, its extremely cut-throat. i wont go into details in my own experiences but ive had several alleged teammates in racing and it was nothing like my experiences with stick n ball sports. completely the opposite in fact.
i think many are confused here with regards to this topic. and quite hypocritical considering the uproar that occurs when team orders have been handed out in the past.
they arent racing for constructors or mfg's championship points. hanny is playing completely fair with tickle. the only thing dickish about the whole thing is the fact that tickle is a super easy going nice guy and its kinda lame to go after a guy like that, but he is the competition and hanny's actions dont warrant near the backlash he's getting. especially considering how well he was liked just last month.
the popularity pendulum has swung mighty fast around here lately.
Personally, I've bagged on Hanny all year for riding like a pussy. He can't make a pass without contact. It's probably his way of playing mind games on the track, but when you are passing the 5-10 guys, do you really need to run them high and give them a bump? In my opinion, not if you are as fast as him.
Hanny is a douche, a VERY talented one, but will always be one!
Pit Row
Love it.
this is the same nonsense that used to go around about CP377 saying he was pitting under an easy up, ect...
the reporting in our sport is comical at times.
goooo Matthes.
The real story!
I wouldn't be surprised if he's on H&H next year since Watson hangs from his balls.
