he looked rough out there, suprised he didnt stick to a 250, I get a 450 is cheaper to build a competitive bike but he was a podium threat on a 250.

He's not been in the top 10 through the few traditional supercross races he's completed. No hate comms but a podium finish is outside his grasp from everything we've seen in either class

It was his A1,  he gets a pass and will put it in the main next weekend.

Ty's best ever 250 Supercross results is a 13th...

He has scored one top ten in an indoor setting, with a 7th at a SMX round last year.

Such a strange story.  His career has to be one of the most interesting and perplexing ones ever.

I might be wrong but did he not say Friday that he had 2 laps on that setting before Houston? Was that different bike then he has been riding on in California?

His timing looked so off.

Probably not the smartest thing to do with one of the most well liked and respected teams/staff in the sport. Mitch has helped riders he doesn’t have room for get rides on other teams many times in the past.

He told ktm they should hire Garrett this year when he didn’t think he was going to be able to keep him

The “duct tape on the helmet to cover old sponsors” thing is the funniest shit ever. What the are odds that’s a PC helmet? 

I know he hasn’t made the most money ever, but can he really not go get a new fucking helmet?

Do the Masterpools have money? Ty is constantly posted up with Lambos and even in a recent insta story there is one next to him in the garage.

Maybe hes not buying a new helmet just to show people hes doing this on his own? IDFK

...I just want to know what the guy under his bike is doing with what appears to be Vise Grips? 

If they are trying to set race sag from down there it's not going to work...

I like Jerry,  he's a nice man in person with a lot of knowledge about the sport.

That said, I haven't seen this much bridge burning since Tony Alessi killed his kid's career.

It's sad to see Ty go from High Point winner to hopeful fill in outdoor rider...

Just verifying the oil drain plug is tightened to spec. Forgot the sockets at home. You know how it is.

I’m assuming Gizmo is going to make a post..? 

Neither party has mentioned each other publicly outside of RacerX reporting on it. 

Just another head scratching day in the life of Ty Masterpool 😂

I wonder if we will see an announcement soon that he will be skipping the rest of supercross to get the new bike dialed in?

Would have liked to see him ride MXGP aswell but almost impossible to get a good contract there unless you're a proven champion. Coldenhoff being 3rd in the standings last year couldn't even get a proper ride. MXGP is a mess sadly.

ML also mentioned him possibly going back to 250 if I heard correctly?

Nobody knowing why Ty isn't racing this weekend is so on brand for Ty. It makes me chuckle.

Oh well.

First to say when I'm wrong: masterpool is becoming increasingly difficult to root for or even defend in the mildest of ways.

Nice guy, good story, has been through a lot, but makes a lot of bad choices. I will almost always root for him but I will not act like he doesn’t do anything wrong.

I’ve never seen somebody at his level of talent make so many poor choices. 

 The guy won nationals last year, this year. He cannot even get out of his own way..

If he wants to be an outdoor only guy, then fine- but it is obvious to me that he does not want to do what it takes to succeed at Supercross at this point…

His IG showed him riding a 250 this week. Said he would not be racing this weekend but not explanation given. Seems like a loose cannon for sure.
