Marco Melandri Pulling Out - for good

[mjrydsfast]

Marco's retiring. He seemed to get so close to winning then either trade teams at the wrong time or just not ride well. I'll miss seeing Manu in the pits with him! He's going into "win or crash" mode for the rest of the season and I hope he wins at least two more before he calls it career. Seems like a good guy.

Jlo is next, surprised nobody in couchracers forum is ranting and raving about it

Supposedly jlo rang his management team and told them to look for other things, moto racing is probably over - meaning he wont finish gp this year????, he also told a close friend the risk/reward being on 2 wheels is over.

I think a lot of people are weighing this risk/reward thing these days. I am pretty sure that is why Pedrosa gave it up.

Never forget that Melandri is a bad ass on 2 wheels..

It's news to me that Melandri is still racing. I thought he retired 5-10 year ago :laughing

For most of these guys, the money’s not there anymore.
