Message: [QUOTE="JST122, post: 1045242, member: 65931"] Jeremy was riding the SX 250 in the off season because he had just signed with KTM and he had only done SX testing on the bike when he crashed on the test track and dislocated his hip, helping him to make his decision to retire. He actually never raced the bike as he announced his retirement at a Press Conference before A1. Really all he did on a KTM was do his farewell tour opening ceremonies lap at each event. While I feel it is time for him to move up I dont disagree with Langston's decision to ride for Pro Circuit. He was pretty much out of a ride and most teams had lost confidence in him in the premier class so when he was offered a ride from Mitch Payton to race the 125 class he took it and I cant say I blame him. It gave him a chance to stay on the Factory Payroll and Factory Equipment and gave him the opportunity to jumpstart his confidence and career. Now he will have more options available to him in the Premier class. If he wins the west coast he will have every major 125 title out there and will therefore have nothing left to accomplish in the class and if he were ever to go back at that point I think then you could give him crap but at this point he has made good decisions and done what most intelligent riders in his position and with his options and desire to race would have done.
