I understand, probably due to finances, why he stuck with the Speedway GP but objectively he might have had a better chance of becoming Long Track World Champion, if he switched sooner.
I do have a chuckle when the camera goes tighter on the riders in their pit, the Monster sponsored ones, easing "Monster Joe" out of shot, despite his vain attempts to hog the limelight.
Serious question..... who actually is he? Does he own Monster?
