MotoAmerica 2022 silly season

I have had that same conversation with 1-2 of the Westby guys... need to look "outside" the industry for sponsor dollars...
Westby does a great hospitality thing... I asked them have they contacted all the things they have there in their tent... manufacturers/distributors of soft drinks, water, gater-aid, candy bars, fruit, etc... clothing the guys were... jeans, sneakers, etc.

 

Tried finding it with no luck, was hoping someone knew. I remembered a thread had that info a while back but also no dice.

 

I was just telling myself that you uncharacteristically left this part out of your initial answer.

 

Thanks. I'll go get signed up for google fu classes asap .

I remember the discussion back then being around Andrew Lee being forced out without an available move to SBK.

 

I believe that is just for stock 1000, he could still do supersport if he wanted, no?

 

I believe, based on the rule book, that he can still compete in Supersport. Mongz, based on your previous statement, did I miss anything that would allow otherwise? Or did you just provide an incorrect/incomplete response to dear @lopitt85 's question.

 

We’re going way away from MA but Ducati motogp had a pasta sponsor, a sparkling wine sponsor, a plate and utensil sponsor/ supplier. . . Shit, they had a zipper sponsor/ supplier!

they might throw a party and make money.

“it’s all simple to say but it’s much harder to do!” Have you tried? Tried a second time? On your thirty first time? Try again.

This is well said, and I fully agree with it.

Yet, somehow people still give Sam Lowes money and a ride. He's fast and overall a nice guy. But for the last few years I have been saying "this dude is toast by the end of the season"

...Come silly season, he usually ends up on an even better ide. I don't get it. Good on him though I suppose... I can armchair expert all I want, I would struggle to keep up with him on pit exit lol.

 

Lol, you are not alone, I am still surprised by the rides that both Lowes are able to keep season after season.

 

Dorna's deal with BT Sport dictates they have at least one brit in Moto2 and Moto3. Lowes crashes like a madman but he's the most competitive Brit out there, so he gets support.

 

After listening to the pod I am pretty bummed for him. He is a winner and a champion. The series needs fast Americans (I am Canadian) running at the top and up front. That is going to inspire the next gen. If he was a back marker so be it, but clearly not the case.

 

Well he is racing some rounds of baggers apparently, see link above.

 

If McWilliams stays for the season and Bobby gets a full season ride - I bet McWilliams beats him in season points.
