JMB back in MX.

Very cool. Glad to see him back in the mix.

France seems to have good food

Who are the other two? The guy on the left looks like Paulin.

This will be Bobryshevs 5th year in a row with factory Honda, they certainly have faith in him.

I feel like Bobryshev can deliver, if he can just get a full season in.

I would say this is part of the RV factor. It's raising the bar.

Really? February 7, 2014 by Adam Wheeler http://ontrackoffroad.com/honda-go-real-factory-with-closer-hrc-link/

didn't know the date, news is slow to arrive on the other side of the big pond.

who the hell is jmb?

Justin M. Bieber..duh

Also, don't remember him being that short?!

ill always wonder how jmb would have faired against RJ had storbeck not landed on his wrist or MC if he would not have left to road race...either way an incredible talent.

^^^This^^^

Perhaps JMB can be a calming influence on Bobryshev. Was gutted for him last year.

Racer X had a great interview with him recently:

Careers for Wardy, Stanton, JMB, and even MC would of been a tad different.

- Stanton would of won titles, would not be know as 6 time
- Wardy would be a few titles lite
- JMB would not of won 250MX, SX and 500MX all in one year and would of postponded MotoGP
- MC's domination starts a tad later because he runs into a season inspired JMB
- RJ retires in 1991 with at least 4 more titles and many more wins. People speak of RJ with RC, MC, and RV
- Damm shame his career was cut short.


RacerX should do a skit like nfl.com's N"IF"L. What "would of been" had the following:

- Hannah does not break his leg water skiing
- RJ does not break wrist
- Bradshaw does not have burn out and wins SX title in 1992
- MC does not leave Honda
- Bubba stays with Kawasaki

Just to name a few.......................................

Dude is such a badass. Kills it over here, is completely over it and trys something new, mission accomplished. Pretty cool living your life on your own damn terms like that.

Bayle was such a unique, individual and talent though I wonder if he will be able to translate much of his knowledge to others. C. Pourcel is very much in the same mold.

I remember reading an interview with RJ and he was a fan of how fluid and effortlessly Bayle rode and was trying to incorporate that into his own riding.
