If I’m Coop…

He signed another 2 year deal with a possible 3rd. If he's still healthy why not race? At minimum he just keeps adding to the wins and passes Dungey. He may even win a 4th. 

and walk a way from a multi million dollar contract not including bonuses??? You’re talking real money, bro. 

In the post race presser. he said he loves what he's doing.    Why would he hang up the boots?

Not to mention he gets to ride around next year with that great big #1 on the bike.    Given that he gave Jett a run in 24 and topped one of the clearly fastest guys (Sexton) for that #1 plate this year proves he's elite level.   

Well, it's a good thing you're not.

Or.....make at least another $3,000,000 doing what he loves to do. Yeah, that would be a difficult decision right there. 

At the minimum he never wins another race again, or gets hurt.

I’d go out on top for sure, if I was financially good. If not, I’d keep collecting the check aslong as I could. 

He needs to hold on long enough for Vialle getting up to speed to be his replacement.

Meh…take the time off that’s required for a successful repair….isn’t it his ulna-carpal ligament? 

If he pulled off a Championship with it broken/damaged/detached…? Imagine what he could accomplish if he gets repaired…again…successfully…& takes the necessary time to heal…?

And let’s not forget that he really seems to like winning. 😂

Going out ‘on top’ sounds good, but the top SX/MX guys aren’t quite in the same league as the top stick and ball athletes. It’s a short window to make a significant amount of money and if he can squeeze out a couple more million it’d be hard to walk away from. 

Coop said he has made plenty of money. It’s all about the love of the sport. Some people just love the grind.
