I don't think there's a zero percent change he doesn't run, but I think that number is VERY low.
In my humble opinion, I do not think we will ever see AP race again,
1...Ins premium too high
2...Injury factor
3...chance of a loss

The risk of injury and risk of a loss, makes no sense to race again, there is nothing to gain, and a lot more to lose.
