Does Ty Masterpool Deserve a 2025 Contract? | We Ask Mitch Payton

[@vitalmx]

Yes, I said stigmatism and I meant a stigma around him. My grasp of the English language is failing me miserably. - ML

[@daneg]

I don't see the probletism with anything you said. 😁

[@joesixpack5691]

We knew what you meant...nice interview.

[@snowzZzZz]

barz

[@waynehamilton4264]

Yes

[@danehauser8675]

It happens bro. We are all human. Just wait until you are in your 50s like me. Too many concussions.😂

[@mikeb4708]

Ty should be on AC’s 450. He proved it last year by finishing better than both the factory Kawasaki riders. This W has just solidified his ability!

[@bobbybishop5662]

100% agreee

[@danblekeberg2470]

I wish he would be on the 450.

[@Stinky_sack]

Agreed. BUT, his supercross game isn't the best. If he improved his sx results he would be on a factory 450 team

[@IsolatedWolf1]

I think he is better off in the 250s financially

[@josephchambers5400]

For him to be on a factory 450 he would need to win a 250 championship first

[@recordfishhunter9234]

Yes Ty deserves a 2025 contract they are lucky to have him. He's been through so much great story he has gained a new fan after that ride ! If he can stay healthy I see nothing but a bright future for this kid well done Ty !!!

[@oldriversfarm1609]

So stoked for Ty, happy for Mitch. This is a tough look on the rest of the team that a fill in rider is doing better than the guys that have actually been on the team for a full year.

[@davessparetime83]

Well Ty is Kawaski's best 250 rider right now.

[@Beastmode-38]

That's to be seen levi had 2 rough weeks but has been up front with deegan as well

[@gordis1623]

Vialle 1-1 at the wick

[@MikeLit2]

So happy for Ty! He deserves a permanent factory ride 🔥

[@doglover136_]

Yes he does, a fill in rider getting a teams 300th win definitely deserves a ride, one year minimum

[@Shawn-ts4jw]

Umm no it doesn't. He needs to be on the podium every race from now on, then maybe yes.

[@walkinginyourspiritman]

Absolutely deserved win, congratulations!

[@shawnhorne9296]

Yes the young definitely deserves a contract 👏 come on mitch !

[@BrentBowser]

If you win a moto and overall, definitely deserve a ride.

[@ni7299]

As soon as Ty gets a little time on the Kawi SX track with the boys, and as soon as he is on pace there,which he will be soon given the chance, it’s a no brainer. Go Ty!!

[@stephentompkins8516]

2 years now this dude has proven himself outdoors, 450 and 250. Giving Pro Circuit it's 300th win and his first. Dude you definitely have a contract extension coming your way

[@Upthebroncos310]

Problem is they don’t really care about outdoors, it’s all about SX and he is not good in SX.

[@stephentompkins8516]

Touche my friend. But still dude come on. Work with him. Plus outdoors is also part of the smx now so you know he's good outdoors. Work on the supercross and see what's up. He deserves a one year deal at least. Ty has heart

[@Upthebroncos310]

@@stephentompkins8516 I agree mate he needs to work on the SX but unfortunately a factory isn’t going to sign him especially a 450 team if he can’t ride SX, he will be a full in rider at best for outdoors

[@stephentompkins8516]

I have faith buddy. It's my hopes that he gets a ride, he's good. Right now work on what you got and run with it. Cheers mate

[@jetskiordie7976]

The best interview I have seen in a long time. Good to see some honest answers from Mitch and I surely hope he pulls the trigger on Ty, he needs and outdoor dude.

[@tacoenvy]

He does for sure, kids only been on the bike 4 weeks, always has a positive great attitude, hell on the 450 he was putting in some impressive rides battling the top dogs on a busted up bike, that blew up on him at one point.

[@Rico-y1d]

‘’ if they want it they got to throw down ‘’ - Mitch Payton that’s some straight facts !!!!

[@MrMason.33]

Phenomenal race weekend, heartfelt for Mitch, definitely 🖊️ 2025 hes got all the potential.

[@DavidDentzman]

So much respect for all the riders, my son raced and my grandson is racing a pw 50 next year

[@austinspired]

Seeing mitch talk about ty Makes my heart happy for some reason.

[@scottpeters8640]

Mitch was thought to be such a hard-ass thru the years, and maybe he was, but now he is the best interview in all the sport. I could bench race with Mitch for a very long time.

[@therealjd1503]

Stoked for Mitch and Ty 🤘

[@Urbad_101]

Very cool to see Mitch letting him go down to Texas and him being more open with riding first with Levi n now Ty

[@neilr4867]

So great to see Mitch and Pro Circuit reach this milestone 😊

[@wcz61]

Ty Mitch for giving him the chance he deserves he is an exceptional talent. I hope PC gets rid of a lot of their guys who are either hurt or underperforming. Ty is awesome.

[@Johnpappas-o1y]

Hard working, great kid …. Wish him all the best ..!!!

[@onthethrottle7104]

Ty FTW!!! The Masterpool's are amazing riders and they are also an amazing family. Here comes Ty! Watch out...he's throwing down!

[@Rg452]

Great job Ty🤘 repin' Texas 🏁

[@TheEverLovingOutdoors]

If Ty keeps putting in the work, he deserves a factory ride. He will only get better!

[@insight-informer]

i love mitch.. "it's internal.. if they want it, they gotta throw down."

[@billberry3669]

He just lost his father; so it was a very emotional weekend for Mitch. Congrats to PC!! Can't wait to see Forkner back

[@manassamauler7333]

I am SO HAPPY for TY!

[@DavidDentzman]

So awesome to see mitch in the hunt

[@SerDuncanMaybals]

ty definitely deserves the ride he needs to work on sx but that will come in time. on another note i would love to hear a media guy ask mitch to tell a good story he has of his father and ty one of his brother jessie. something that sticks with them and keeps them going. something to keep their legacies alive and something im sure motivates them to keep going.

[@eric6rock]

Is that even a question? once you win you should automatically earn/stay in that spot. Been following Ty Since his early Star 125 Days, his Red Bud Holeshot, Suzuki Stint, the AEO KTM leading at Red Bud, and the masterful ride last year on the privateer HBI Kawasaki. Been Knowing the tragedy for many years but they did not dwell on it for too long and continued the sport THATS a Feat that’s hard to come by for Both Ty and Jake and the Whole Family. One of the Best Race/Story in recent year. A Huge Congratulations to Ty and the Family and a Massive thank you to Mitch and PC for offering him the opportunity. 🙏 #4Jesse

[@brap10151]

Absolutely he does. Mcadoo or Hammaker aint going 2-1 outdoors ever..

[@domsileo1145]

He earned a contract ride in 2025……great to see this type of heart in such a young man under a huge amount of advercity.

[@johnjones231]

Keep up the hard work Ty stay present contract will come

[@calar619]

Look at how far back even 4th place is! Of course he does! Great guy. Thank you Mitch for giving a chance on your great team

[@moto3463]

Mitch is a class act I hope he can get good results with Ty and sign him a contract. You can see he has the bite in him he wants to win if he can keep injury free it could be so good for PC.

[@peterfurber6966]

The wrey smile on Mitch's face = the lawyers are drawing up Ty's 2025 contract NOW. WELL DONE TO THE WHOLE PC TEAM 👏❤🇬🇧

[@stevekabel2016]

So damn proud of this kid..

[@davidbishop2913]

Imagine how much knowledge mitch payton has

[@maverick2242]

Give him the ride Mitch the kids proven it, hopefully he keeps going and I'm sure he will earn it if he hasn't already, this was no fluke! And he keeps it right side up, he wasn't over his head, he's comfortable at this pace and ya cant say that about allot of injured PC riders.

[@kevindrapola7838]

As Ty said all glory to God !

[@syesepoh]

Yeah, all glory to Mitch Payton...

[@DickDebonaire]

Why not glory to all three? God, Ty and Mitch

[@quintbetts4703]

All glory to God, im sure Mitch is cool with that.

[@supertramp7587]

"If they want it. They gotta, throw down!"

[@scottkenny5281]

Of course he does, confidence is only growing, I know a lot of injuries but you can only race who's out there and try is one of the fastest 250 guys right now

[@Tegridy_Rc]

Let him have it Mitch!!

[@archie_bol8153]

💯 he deserves a contract.

[@kimkristensen2816]

Green should keep this guy for the future. Perhabs as a replacement for Anderson in time and along Prado in the 450 class

[@CR250rSMITH]

He's shown he's has more speed then kitchen this year so yeah he deserves a contract

[@joemathias4975]

Absolutely 💯 Percent Tye Deserves a ride

[@395PRS]

ML is one of my favorite guys esp bike testing and tech. For some reason he has never talked about Ty and family very favorably and starts the interview with a negative and repeats it a few times until Mitch wouldn't bite. I thought that was pretty classless. Over the last 4/5 years I have probably watched and listened to every interview on Masterpool family and Ty and and have heard nothing but good things. If it was the Parents that are protective of their children, no one should have a problem with, especially what this family has endured in the past. I know authenticity when I hear it and see it esp when it is not spoken. I consider the Masterpools genuine in my book. People living in glass houses... ML you need to reflect on your recent past before jumping back to full time Vital. I forgave you on all of that because I value you as an intelligent and likable guy that which outweighed that short term debt which hurt me when I read about it.

[@vitalmx]

Opposite, I was letting Mitch state that there's no issue. Letting him clear it up as he has the personal experience of working with Ty in the place he's in now. - ML

[@doug_errickson]

Great interview ML

[@kevinbreaux7552]

Yes indeed, he has what it takes to win in either class,

[@Tide12NC]

Not giving Ty a ride would be a shame. This kid has the right stuff. Definitely a steal for Suzuki, Husky or a team like Muc Off should Mich not offer. I believe Ty as long as he’s healthy can run top 5’s consistently.

[@Johnpappas-o1y]

He’s a hard working talented rider ..!!!

[@kochj0713]

Ty is where exactly supposed to be and that is on a 250 450 class is much more difficult. Many 250 riders, were champions came up to 450 class and struggle to get top 10 so Ty is right where he needs to be.

[@Efemedio1]

Very Happy for Ty, very deserving win 🏆! Wish ML512 had elaborated more on his stigma, but when you win that goes by the side, and you take the overall over that punk, little Deegan! Sweet shout out to Brian Swink! 😢

[@natel7382]

Ty on a 450 PC next season. Fr though, what is going on with kitchen?

[@dougfields6418]

With Marchbanks leaving Club, seems like a perfect fit for Masterpool to slide into

[@vitalmx]

Club needs all their riders to be at their facility in South Carolina and a big caveat for Masterpool is he wants to train at his family' facility in Texas. PC is letting him do that now.

[@JordanEmede_376]

Levi was my pick for this title. That said, Ty should have left his trophy on chefs bunk in the trailer. Something needs to happen here.

[@otto6461]

Can someone let this man know the word he’s looking for is “stigma” not “stigmatism”

[@jakerivets2249]

I was dying laughing at that

[@EfBEye888]

Someone needs to let this man know a whole lot more than that. Like ask the question then stop talking, not add 9 sentences after the question that basically answer the question

[@vitalmx]

Yup, I'm stupid. - ML

Absolutely, give him Forkners contract. At least he’ll be more inclined to finish a season.

[@1damghost]

theres not many riders around who can win so i think if tye continues to ride well i think mitch will give him a ride.

[@ozzielinkin]

I would like to see the list of riders that have been on PC over the years and also a list of those who have won for Mitch .

Long answer, YES.

He's earning it.

[@taylorhappe8026]

Procircuit should definitely have more than just two active Riders on their team just look at Star Yamaha because they're going to need a wider camera lens to take a team picture😂

[@suzukikawasaki5165]

I don't understand why the overall wasn't a tie. He and deegs both did a 1-2

[@gfg8262]

It's basically boils down to the rulebook. Whoever improves their score second moto gets the overall with a 1-2 vs a 2-1 score.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

first factory rider with a outdoor only contract?

[@vitalmx]

Christophe Pourcel had an outdoor only contract with Factory Yamaha for 2014 in the 250 class. Ty will have a full deal for 2025, it won’t be outdoors only.

[@Efemedio1]

​@vitalmx so, he did earn a contract for 2025???

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

Deserve? No. He's not entitled to it. Has he earned a factory ride spot? Yes he has. Saying he " deserves " it, is a discredit to the work he's put in to earn it. Can't stand that word " deserve" its what spoiled entitled people use to try and get their way.

[@DickDebonaire]

Yes, that word irks me as well. Like commercials that say "A new Buick will provide you with the luxury and comfort you deserve" How do they know? Maybe I "deserve" an electric chair more than heated leather seats!
