This most likely wont happen, but Honda did manage to convince Townley to come out of retirement to fill in for a couple of rounds at the Australian nationals. It would be sick they got him to fill in for Barcia for a few rounds.

I don't know why but I find myself watching his results every race. He just seems like a laid back dude putting his head down and doing work. He would be a cool replacement rider for Honda.

I'd go w/ any of the TLD guys; preferably M. Stewart or Jessy Nelson. I think on the factory bike, they could surprise some folks; especially Malcolm.

Mentioned that in my thread. Since the word all over is that Seely is signed, sealed and almost delivered to Team MM Honda for 2015...and since his results in the outdoors so far hasn't been the greatest due to DNF's...why not stick hjim on the bike he'll be on next year anyway to get him some saddle time?

Seely, no brainer, thought he was going there next year anyway., mookie s resuls probably be the same, imo. Tld bikes are not far off the factory hondas.

Rick Melon. He has never gotten a real shot at the big time.

I suggest a different Tommy, they've done it before, do it again, Tommy Hahn, from retirement.
Kyle Regal, where ever you are?
Gavin Faith?

Because the TLD team is still paying for him to ride their bikes. Literally nothing to gain for them.

The only rider that makes sense is Cole. Giving the ride to someone like Tommy Weeck isn't going to do them any good. He's a 17th-20th place rider at the moment, what will a factory bike put him with little time on it? 15th-17th? Not worth their time. I think with Canard running up front, they won't bother. Canard is getting enough coverage for them as is and is representing the sponsors wisely. Also, calling someone up mid season and putting them on a factory bike isn't as easy as it sounds.

Barcia would have a seizure if Malcolm Stewart replaced him Laughing Laughing Laughing

Seely wouldn't do very well, kind of over-rated

You have to think Trey is pushing for Jimmy Albertson. He has filled in for Honda in the past and it worked well for them. I would assume Jimmy would be able to help test for Trey throughout the season as well. Plus, Jimmy has to be running out of money to continue on.
