Suzuki's attitude is just as supportive but in a different way, they would say "Hey, we have to win races. We don't care how you do it, or what you have to sacrifice, that's what we are paying you for."

Thats a quote from TP himself. I think that says it all. Thanks for the link that was a good interview.

Nice sentiment, but it is hard to reconcile with the fact that he is missing multiple races due to an injury suffered in FMX.

Thanks for the link, Ivan. It is a good interview.

Next I expect to see just as many people slamming David Vuillemen for throwing away the SX championship when he foolishly went to a photo shoot and did some stupid jumps for the camera.

I also expect to see the same people slamming Shane Watts for not being able to race most of the GNCC season that he is sponsored to race b/c he was out racing a SX in Australia.

Both of them were doing something other than working towards the job they are paid to do.

Any factory rider who injures themself mid-season while competing in another professional sport deserves to be slammed.
