    If that's the case then why didn't they fire McDonough in 7th place too?

    Maybe we will see him on the Westby Yamalube bike next year.

    Worth repeating here ...

    "Ok everyone! Let's all calm down. I was released from aprilia Hsbk.... Fact is aprilia didn't want them to hire me because they thought I was too big. I should have never be hired in my opinion if they thought that. but that's that and we split ways. They are under pressure to win so they did what they thought was best. 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!"

    And he probably won't get a ticket driving through Oklahoma.

    Beat me too it, but then again ours is only a 250 and we have destroyed two motors in two races nor can we afford to pay but its fun so that should count.

    F..ing Italians!! I know them like my own blood. I grew up with them, and ironically I am a Korean, Asian Italians! Loud, whiners, peninsula people, ever drunk, and always think the grass is greener on the other side. And DD showed Texas size class, and moved on. At the end, Karma is a biotch... People with class will move on with smile on the face, and whiners will keep whining..
    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.
