I find it quite mindblowing how everybody thinks the status quo of high risk and massive injuries is good for the sport. Personally I would have loved to see a real showdown with Daprella and Minnaar in the mix and clean runs from e.g. Brook, Kerr, Vergier.

Just name any other sport where the outcome of the season is so heavily influenced by who stays healthy to be able to participate?

Do you have numbers to back that up? Because I know of quite a few Socom owners and all frames are/were still in good shape during ownership (minus dents because of thin tubes). The frames that I have seen cracked were ridden by folks that had no business owning one. 200 pounds huck to flat rider were not the intented...

Didn't he badmouth Corsair when he left and did the same again with Evil? Don't get me wrong, he might have legitimate concerns here, but if you are doing this every time you change sponsors then it is a little weird.
