With GEICO Honda and JGR Suzuki recently shutting doors, Jason Weigandt provides some insight into why sponsorship is so hard to find in 2020—and how much it hurts to see big teams shut down. With so many private teams struggling, many wondered if Forrest Butler's Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-WPS-KTM team would survive the year. Indeed, the team remains, with Joey Savatgy replacing Blake Baggett for 2021. Weigandt talks to Butler and Savatgy about the year that was and the year that's upcoming. Butler talks about survival through the season, and Savatgy explains how his deal came to be. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is presented by Yoshimura.
Joey Savatgy has run up front before: "I just look at the guys that are up there now, and I've beat those guys before. I might not beat them every time, but I've run with them and won races and lost races. I don't think it's impossible." The struggle is real in his comeback from injury—and a team and bike switch—and he gives a sobering but honest update on his progress. Also, Justin Cooper talks about his struggles this year finding his old podium form, and rookie Jo Shimoda explains how he has to set realistic goals in a field of 250 veterans. Enjoy the whole convo and an intro from Jason Weigandt with thoughts on the season in this edition of the Racer X Exhaust podcast. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.
Presented by 6D Helmets A "freak accident" during practice at the 2019 AUS-X Open Supercross event in Australia put Joey Savatgy in a precarious situation a few weeks ago. Thousands of miles away from home and with multiple fractures to the bones in his heel and ankle, the JGRMX/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing rider had to undergo a surgery to stabilize the injury, fly 14 hours from Melbourne to Los Angeles, and then go through a second separate procedure to help with the recovery and future range of motion.Now in the United States, Savatgy's recovery period that fill the early months of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series. Despite the setback, he is hopeful that the entire process will go smoothly and there's a chance to be back on the starting line as early as late spring.

Jason Weigandt sat down with new JGR/Yoshimura Suzuki rider Joey Savatgy in the pits at the Monster Energy S-X Open in Auckland, New Zealand, to discuss his long journey toward getting a ride for 2020. After a solid rookie season with Monster Energy Kawasaki, Savatgy was left looking for work once Kawasaki promoted Adam Cianciarulo to Savatgy's old spot as a 450 factory rider. Savatgy would appear to have an easy home with JGR and Suzuki, but as that team sputtered finding funding, Joey was left to wait, wait, and wait some more. What was that process like? Did he ever consider the privateer route—or quitting altogether? Is he bitter about being in this situation in the first place? Savatgy gets honest in this edition of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast.

Presented by Fly Racing Have you kept track of all that's happened to Joey Savatgy over the last twelve months? Things like his advancement to the 450 class via a ride with Monster Energy Kawasaki, the pack-leading performance at the Monster Energy Cup, a handful of top-seven finishes in Supercross, some mechanical woes outdoors, and an eventual departure from the factory team were the easy things to keep track of. But there was much more to all of those things than what one could see from the outside and now that the season is over, Savatgy has had some time to reflect about each. In this episode of the Swapmoto Live Podcast, we talk with the currently unemployed racer about the year, the Monster Energy Cup move over, misconceptions about reimbursement, the details of his departure from the team, and how close he is to inking a deal with another team in the pits.
Joey Savatgy is not sure what to do. In today's social media age, he knows fans wants more transparency and honesty, but if he says too much, he'll be labeled a complainer. In part two of this Exhaust podcast with Jason Weigandt, Joey talks about getting heat for falling in front of Ken Roczen in Nashville, the reaction from fans when he signed with Monster Energy Kawasaki, and what went down at the Monster Energy Cup, where he moved over for new teammate Eli Tomac. It's been a good season for Savatgy on the racetrack, and he's also working hard on fixing his reputation off of it. Have a listen here to get his thoughts on the process.

When Monster Energy Kawasaki announced that Joey Savatgy would take a factory 450 slot for 2019, fans voiced their complaints. This was puzzling, because while Savatgy had come up short of 250 titles in heartbreaking fashion, he was at least a proven race winner. Why did the fans spin so negative? In Part 1 of this interview, Jason Weigandt asks about his rookie 450SX season—which has been good enough to quiet his detractors—but also about Joey's persona and personality. Joey's been through some battles, but he tries to keep his feelings to himself and take the high road, which was fine before the days of social media but leaves people wanting more in an age of transparency. Joey understands that, but he's also staying true to himself. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.
