Oh man, this isn't good news. Here's a press release from Mike Brown's manager, posted over at Racer X Online. According to the copy, a joint decision reached by Rick Carmichael, Kevin Windham and the AMA's Steve Whitelock made after last Sunday's national at Broome-Tioga resulted in the removal of Mike Brown from Team USA. Read it and tell me what you think.
I think it's a shame, but not totally unreasonable. I'm on record for suggesting that the team be made up of the current points leaders at mid-season. Brown certainly qualified at the time, but as everyone knows, has been struggling to find the pace as of late. But is that reason enough to boot him off the team? Or are there other issues in play that the public will never hear of?
