je vois plus anderson ou allez, Tomac il doit avoir la rage…. musquin je pense pas….
Tout peut arriver encore…
Qui aurait parié et sur Anderson, et sur Barcia, solides devant, ne serait ce que trois mois avant ?
Son plus gros fan redoutait d’ailleurs de voir Marvin se balader devant, et ça semblait plausible…
Comme je ne suis qu’un avis parmis tant d’autres dans la foule, je cède la parole à un ancien pilote, Jimmy Button qui au départ sur le cas de Bogle ( ? ), indisponible pour longtemps, évoque sur RacerX la part de travail caché, la part du risque, la part de chance pour éviter d’être au mauvais moment au mauvais endroit …

Forward thinking racers………? I think you are a bit misguided. Were the 3 you mentioned able to get through their respective careers without much in the way of injuries, yes. But, some of that is good fortune and timing. No matter how much preparation you have sometimes in this sport you just end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Although I never rode with Ryan, I did race MC my entire career and rode with RC quite a bit. I can tell you that both made huge mistakes, more often at practice than races and had huge crashes and were able to walk away from them relatively unscathed. I would believe that also happened to Ryan. You see the general public doesn’t see but the top of the iceberg with the riders and therefore your view of the entire situation is skewed, and giving you a somewhat faulty perception of everything. When you take a look at Bogle’s situation, his issues are more public facing. MEC, a rider jumps directly into him and he has a severe crash. This could have happened to anyone, and he was doing nothing wrong nor was he in the back of the pack where stuff generally happens. His fitness, preparation, or race craft had nothing to do with it. I would say that you could classify the same for his recent crash in SD. Sometimes riders are unlucky.
Right now Barcia is the feel good story of the season, is riding well, and for what he has done he has probably sealed his fate with a factory job for another 2-3 years. But, just 4 months ago he was washed up, no motivation, overpaid, and jobless (this was the general consensus of most). The reality is, he had just ran through about 2 1/2 years of really bad luck and timing as he had some injuries during practice that just magnified as the race season wore on. Guys that win races (which is very difficult to do), and guys that Championships (even more difficult to do) do not all of a sudden forget how to ride. Sometimes bad luck and poor timing happen to the best of them. And, far too often both the fans and the industry write them off for some strange reason.
I just wish that both the fans and the industry insiders would take a step back and reevaluate the situation before casting their opinions. My $0.02
