Haven't seen him since the GasGas meltdown. Hopefully he didn't disappear to do something heavy like taking care of family. I remember reading once that hit sister tangled with cancer in the past. He's occasionally reappeared when mentioned three times. He's fine. I guess his interest in racing dropped as he hasn't been able to do it.
I thought he just couldn't take it anymore because the tracks weren't being scheduled in alphabetical order.
