[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1258452, member: 18302"] I certainly hope the rumors are not true. The whole thing is very weird, though. JBS was very specific that his injury happened December 20th, after he had recovered from the injury that sidelined him last year. Seems strange that he was so specific about Dec. 20th. I've just never heard a rider discussing a month old injury and being so specific about the date. Struck me funny, like when he got injured may influence contractual payments. It's big business, after all. Were there any reports that he was seen limping around at A1 and PHX? How about reports that he was seen or not seen practicing after Dec. 20th? Seems like Kawasaki would know if he was or was not practicing, or if he seen a doctor. They could back JBS up on this stuff at anytime and snuff out these rumors (if they have not already). Without seeing a Doctor after the A2 incident, Bubba can say the injury might keep him out all SX season? Why not wait until he has had medical attention to speculate on that? As for him bailing out over 'only' $200,000 dispute, maybe he gets the $1.2 million whether he races the rest of the SX season or not. Maybe he wanted a raise if he was going to bust his tail all year, and he had tons of bargaining power right before the highly anticipated A2 round. Also, maybe he's got another energy drink lined up that will pay him way more than Monster. So his new potential sponsor tells him Monster is giving him the shaft with that insult of an offer (who knows if it was $1.2 million). So he plays hardball when Monster does not re-negotiate, knowing someone else is lined up. Bottom line is no one can know, but it is a shame that he is not out there on the line! I really wanted to see him and Reed battle it out this year. I was shocked when I heard JBS was out, especially when it was a month old injury! [/QUOTE]
