I have always been a fan of AC because he is such a cool dude, but due to his seemingly constant injuries, I have been critical of him always having a top level factory ride. I understand and popularity and likeability sell motorcycles, but his inability to finish a season has been a little frustrating in the past.

This outdoor season, he is crushing it and putting in solid results and constantly building, it’s so awesome to see, I hope he can keep the momentum going because he is a pleasure to watch on and off the bike!

I hear you, and he’s a tougher, more dedicated, more articulate, more devoted, guy than I am, but who is he beating, that he shouldn’t be beating? There’s basically nobody racing in that class in the top 10 that are top level factory top 10 guys.

Ferandis, Anderson, Plessinger...

Anderson’s been back for like two races from a long time off. Ferrandis is back from injury from a long time off. So a couple injured guys and  plessinger is his claim to fame right now?

Props to AC for grinding through the season but like YZ133rider said, he’s beating the guys he’s supposed to be beating. 
 

I hope he continues to build off this base and regain some form but I’m even sure AC has some perspective on his results and expectations

The thing is, that he has been unable to beat the guys he should have for a while. And was crashing out.  Many racers might have cashed in on a career ending injury insurance policy if they had what Adam is riding through.  While those other guys may be recently back from an injury, AC never left and is still not 100% healthy. 

I'm happy for him, and happy he's out there and not one of the many other guys that is out injured. Whatever the results are, its better to have him out here. And awesome to see him getting podiums and getting closer to getting back to the level of riding people expect from him.

Seems like the perfect opportunity for an outside sponsorship.

Carrier I'm looking at you!

He’s beating the hell out a bunch of demons and nerve damage, it sounds like. Finishing where he is ‘supposed to’ would probably feel like winning multiple championships after the last couple of years.

He is doing exactly what he needs to do. Of course from a fan perspective it doesn't seem impressive, but if he keeps building next year should be really good for him
