I’m not sure Club will have him back after the way he left. 

Excuse my ignorance, what did he do leaving club that burned the bridge? Genuinely never heard about it!

tbh I didn't think guys still got that procedure knowing the fascia removed is temporary.  I remember sellards having a bunch of issues with it.

I’m not claiming to be an insider but I know a handful of current pros really well and 3 or 4 of them get arm pump surgery often. It normally only takes them a week to recover and they can still do off bike cardio almost immediately after.

They have a video about it on you YouTube someone can find. Long story short he ghosted club and they got an email from his attorney saying he was not racing for club in 2024. Brandon tried calling and texting end he ignored him.

I know it's simple and a super fast recovery for most people, but I guess even basic surgery from top notch doctors has to go wrong once in a while, doesn't it?

I'm no doctor, VitalMX doctor or otherwise... I am curious what plausible alternatives there are?

Fair enough, I guess it makes sense that things are better procedure wise than they used to be.

If he gets dropped he'll just go back to Club. Nbd

Brandon the owner of club talked about the Enzo departure on a vlog and I do not think think Enzo be greeted with open arms from club or at all imo

If he gets things figured out and shows the speed he had last year and enough stamina/arm strength for a full main event, I don’t see why Star wouldn’t give him another chance. 

They were on board with him getting the procedure and he actually went with a couple of his teammates (he didn’t name them on his instagram post), his teammates were 100% after 1-2 weeks and he pretty much never recovered and wasn’t able to ride the bike till 2 weeks ago. This was done in early November.

If you’ve got google you can be a doctor.

Does this affect his chances for a ride with Star next year? I’m pretty sure he’s on a 1 year  SX only contract. Wanted to see him do well but can’t help but think this hurts his stock. 

If he shows he has the speed and is on the box or battling for it he still be in the game.  If he comes back...

If he shows he has the speed and is on the box or battling for it he still be in the game.  If he comes back and rides around in 10th, not good for his chances.  

If he rides top four it isn’t good

Speed he had, he never got a podium in what could’ve been considered the weaker coast. Talented rider but not sure what Star saw that made them want him to break his contract to ride for them when they already have a full team

What's making all these young guys need arm pump surgery?

Idk he was riding in there pictures on instagram a few days before the first east round so I can’t imagine it’s that bad he was on the SX track
