You probably saw all of the strange happenings in the last few weeks with Yamaha of Troy’s Jason Lawrence. Carmichael certainly has, and he wasn’t happy about it when he went on DMXS Radio on Wednesday night. When asked about J-Law, the 15-time champ said, “I think it’s horrible. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: All his antics and what he does, he might of won a Lites deal, whatever. I mean good for him, but look it’s finally coming around right now. And you can’t be like that dude, and he gets exactly what he deserves.”
When asked about how to stop J-Law’s smack talk and taunting of rivals like Ryan Dungey, RC replied, “You just keep whipping his ass on the motocross track to keep his mouth shut. That’s how you solve that problem right there, you know. It’s all making full circle and you hear all these things like he is going to lose his ride and this and that. I think he deserves to lose his ride if you ask me. You know this is a professional sport and all these guys, the Villopoto’s and Dungey’s and all these other guys that are trying to put a good face on the sport. You get a guy like him that just ruins it.”
When asked what he would do in Dungey’s shoes, Carmichael said, “He won’t talk smack to me because I’ll just ruin the guy. You know what I mean? I wish he would, you know; I wish I was racing that guy, I really do. That is one guy that would just make me go out and put in more time than anybody else to put that guy into early retirement. Guys like that just feed me.”
