Look at geico Honda... All four of their guys may have some good races here and there, but this is clearly not where they want to be. Do you think it's helping them pick talent just based on lorrettas in the B class? Maybe they should get more veterans like Alex Martin or someone like that.

Dude..... no. Just no.

Jmart, Cooper Webb, AC50 etc were all Loretta standouts. You win some you loose some. They're cultivating young talent, and it doesmt always turn into a Ricky Carmichael. I would like to see them bring over someone like Tim Gajser

Yeah but it all took them a year or two, maybe they'd have more success getting someone like Tim giiser who had experience but I see what you're saying, maybe they should at least have one veteran rider though

I don't see Honda cultivating young talent, they have NO mini program, they refuse to make 2 strokes the 150 gets smoked

Honda's young talent consists of stealing riders mostly from yamaha, kaw & ktm mini riders...

They got to take them away from the others cause of no mini program,,,

mean while we got a SHOWDOWN @ Loretta's the 250B & 450B with Chase Sexton & Austin Forkner...

both killed the fields in their qualifers, they are tied to yamaha & kaw... future factory riders next year after Loretta's

Suzuki has nothing either, At Loretta's this year look at the results in the supermini, there won't be one honda in the top 10

the honda 150 can't compete with the 112's 2 stroke...

this isn't a KNOCK on the 4 stroke, it's a knock on Honda to refuse to make a 2 stroke in the mini's...

Bottom line is, there haven't been too many heavy hitters coming straight out of the amateur ranks these last few years, other than Webb, Martin and AC who all had strong ties with other brands.

Smith, Bisceglia and Hampshire are good riders that might win them a title in the future, but they are no Barcia, Tomac or Canard who all came up through Geico.

Barcia, Tomac & Canard came off Honda 2 strokes & stayed with Honda, that's the difference, can't do that now thru the
mini classes or 125's schoolboy...

The only one who rode a Honda in the mini class was Barcia. Eli rode Suzuki's and I'm almost positive Trey rode for Team Green until he moved to the A class.

I don't know if Bogle is going to make it in 450's, maybe somewhere...

Yamaha got 3 fast guys coming shortly after Loretta's, Tristan Charvoneau, Lorenzo Locurcio & Ryan Surratt...

Mitchell Harrison for Kaw. I guess pro circuit, maybe Honda can steal a couple of these guys away...

Thanks for proving my point, Tristan Charboneau won the 250 B title on a Yamaha, see "screen shot"...

Honda has no mini program therefore they have no choice...
