Yeah interesting. Brook broke up with his mrs recently I think so could fit the loses ball and chain part. Losing chain also fits with Zerode. Fish out of water - maybe he’s moved from the coast to Rotorua. He’s been spending a lot of time there.
Blenki is a keen fisherman. Even did a thing with Rob Warner where they went out on Sam’s boat. Spoke to someone yesterday who knows Brook. Asked who he’ll be riding for this year and all they knew was that he’s been out riding a Zerode recently.
I was under the impression Crestline were just sponsoring Sam with frames and he was running his own program. Not sure where I got that from but would make sense that he could be looking for a team if that was the case.
