    Smart move. BT101 has had some injuries in the past few years, he has all he needs- if you've ever seen his home and family. No need to risk your neck, for what?? He made it to the top tier of MX won championships and made bank while doing it. Good on ya Ben, now relax and get on with your life. One of the good gentleman racers of MX.

    Many. Too many.
    Darn glass-jaw Townley. I really liked the guy and his bulldog style was awesome to watch. He's making the right choice, there are several other racers I think should make this tough decision....

    Career highlights IMO were epic battles with Villo in 2007, his "punting" of Andrew Short and moto win at the MXDN (09?) and leading Redbud till the last lap, 2010.
