Roczens replacement

motoarmageddon
People assume Honda is looking for the fastest rider available...possibly not. Remember Noren? Hrc couldnt have thought he'd win, they just liked him. So you never know who could get KRs bike.

Freddy probably provides solid feedback on the bike and can throw it in the top 10, outdoors.

I thought it was obvious that his replacement is going to be Friese

while that is a great idea, because its true, if I was JMart, I would want to have a cast iron contract in place for 2018 before I agreed to ride it.

I don't see him as a great 450 rider.

I'd love to see Benny Bloss on it, but I know that wont happen,

I like this guy. Up and coming dude on a Honda. Perfect fit. I heard that he already tried to scare Roczen away from HRC.

Without an outside sponsor to please... I'd not be surprised that Seely is the man for a while. Wasn't there a round last year where Trey and him were out?

What happens when Jmart goes to the 450 rounds on the east and gets injured? Who does geico/honda turn to for that outdoor championship?

Bad idea..

plus what happens if he does horrible... he ruins his chance at a 450 ride for two years IMO.

he should stay put




He reminds me a lot of Bagget, super fast outdoors and has the speed to win in supercross but just can't seem to get the job done. They should do the GPs that would be awesome

Yes! He has been secretly training just in case Roczen or Seely would get hurt.

The rumor has it that he was only 4 tenths off Seely at the Honda test track.

My guess is Wilson. While Noren is good Outdoors, he doesn't have the SX chops Honda needs and at this point I'm sure Honda (and everyone else) is hoping Roczen is healthy by Outdoors.

I think JMart is similar to Baggett. He will have the potential to podium on 450s, but won't be a threat to win any 450.

Noren is the only one that I can see them giving the ride to because they would have to pay him next to nothing. I would love to see Wilson get it.

Just give it to James and tell him the end is near for your career so just go out and end it on a good note...

Giving it Noren is basically folding he tent and waiting for next year.

Put a Factory rider on it.

Mookie
James
Deano

Nobody mentioned Wey....

Brayton - Riding the bike already, his results could improve getting away from the Alessi family. Seemingly nice guy, has a history with Honda. Top 10s, consistently healthy.

Wilson - Same as Brayton, more upside, but more risk. His Yamaha deal and timing is rapidly closing.

J. Mart - I like this idea, season is toast and hes moving up next year. Could be a possible tryout for next year. Would he race the nationals on the 450?

Mookie - I doubt it, his deal has come together and it would be a huge blow to Ride365 if he pulled the rip cord. Ditch Geico for the nationals last year then ditch Ride365 this year? Bad business..

James - Would be fun to watch, the hype and anticipation of seeing him on a HRC bike might be worth it. Probably crash out or suffer from blisters, etc... If he is willing to race for results driven money, I would call him up.

Shorty - IDK I just don't see it, he seems busy enough and happy.

Kinda looks like KR right before the A2 ejection. Must be the bike.

So all the other times it was given to Noren and he had solid results they should have just folded and went home?? The dudes been making mains on a 250f!

The fact you threw Malcolm and james as an option just tells everyone you have no clue what you're talking about.
