Just saw the post on Road Racing World, seems unusual to release a rider mid-season that's sitting 5th in points ahead of his team mate. Dustin is a tremendous talent, I hope he picks up a ride for the rest of the season, MotoAmerica needs talented riders like him in the series.
Top Aprilia rider too. WTF?
link? I was wondering about what the mumblings on fb were about. Sad :( Dustin and his wife are great people.

Article reads like Aprilia made the call. :frown:
Sounds like Aprilia wants to win, not settle for top 5. Although that seems like a damn good spot to be in Their first outing in Motoamericas.
You can put Biaggi with 400K racing budget on the Ape; they still don't have anything on Hayes or Cameron on their Jap bikes on US soil. Would love to see Dustin back on a Jap bike and winning, like last year.
Morais will have to learn the tracks and the culture before he can win. I hate to be a bad guy but I truly hope this guy sucks.
I like unicorns and rainbows.
If that's the case then why didn't they fire McDonough in 7th place too?Quote:

Dustin released a statement on facebook, you can find the reason on his Facebook page.
Worth repeating here ...Quote:

I have zero hard feeling toward the team and wish them the best! I'm now enjoying time with my family and would like to thank everyone for their support! Let all stay positive!"
Sic erat scriptum
I have an olive branch, a seat on the cbr500 endurance, and a guarantee you wont be the heaviest on the team.

Trust me, no matter what they do, Ducati will always be no better than number 2, and Aprilia will be no better than Perego. For those who don't know, Perego makes baby strollers.
Told yall when it was first releasedthat HSBK was going to be an Aprilia factory backed team, that Aprilia is quick to split ways. Lloyd Brothers won two championships for them and they went with KWS for the following year because they could save a buck or two. Can't trust them. Sucks for Dustin either way and I'm sure Bobby is bummed to have to split with him.
Forum high five.
I dont know Shek but I do know many, many people in this community would say the exact same thing about you my friend.
:cheers: Dad to Dad, I like this.Quote:

I can't be sure, but Kasey seems very aroused.Quote:
