Hell yea, I'm glad they stayed with the same team. I was worried if they switched teams and bikes, it could take a season or two for them to get rolling. Working with new guys, bikes, sponsors, team, testing, etc could help or hurt a rider. They don't always adjust quickly, if ever. I like these 2 guys alot and especially Tomac, and I know he'll do we'll in the class. Not sure about Wilbur? Has anyone seen or heard of him riding/racing a 450? Has he said he likes it better, does he feel like it suits him, or anything like that?Blink

Would have been cool to see Eli riding for the GOAT. I am glad he is staying red....would have been cool to see him under the 22 tent as well.

Glad to hear it! I really like tomac and Hahn and think this was a great move for everyone. Can't wait to see them mix it up with the big bikes.

Sweet! Good to see Geico stepping up their 450 program. Much easier to develop something if you have 2 guys to bounce ideas and compare notes with. And it seems these guys are pretty good buds...

So the many discussion, all stamp it, BS suggestions, ended with him not moving an inch from the present gig. Talk about BS for nothing. Smile

So you're saying that everything is posted here isn't factual?

Wonder if this will be another nail in the factory Honda squads coffin? Let Geico run the whole Honda show in a few years...........
When a Factory Honda tent no longer exists, you can almost beat the end is near.

Well - I think they have Tickle for another year but agree they want a top rider. Tomac would have been great for them. I would have like to see it but congrats to both Tomac and Hahn - Geico does a good job and they will have good bikes.
