Is he not re-signed with Honda or was his deal just a one year deal?

Slightly unrelated, I think I saw his brother at a local track on Sunday. He was fast. He was running a Suzuki with the number 22 on it. Had an AMA sticker and Lucas Oil sticker on it also. He looked a LOT like Tommy but he was also smoking a cigarette. Made me doubt if it was really a pro rider or just a fast local.

I don't know if he was ever officially a Team Honda rider...but had a deal (at least in the 2014 SX's) where he was under the Geico tent and ran their colors, but was on a factory Honda 450 for all practical purposes. Wilbur seems like a good dude, and I hope he lands on a good strong team & bike because he deserves it. He's fast and is pretty much non-BS.

And yeah...I don't see Tommy smoking a cigarette.

I didn't think he'd be smoking a cigarette either. That's why I was really questioning if it was him. He looked a lot like Tommy and was one of only a few dudes hucking a few of the bigger jumps. And he had the AMA sticker on his bike. I guess I need to look up what bike he was riding at the last national.

Tommy has been on a Kawasaki #130 for Peer Brothers Racing at the last 2 nationals.

I'm 98% sure that Tomac's Geico Honda is the factory bike with team colors, and that Wil's was done in house until injury... I think there's another year on his contract, but I'm not sure.

He will be on a new bike come A1. Geico is going back to a single 450 rider
