That's something that won't happen. His contract with Suzuki expires on September 30 and his one with Honda most likely begins on October 1. There's no benefit in Suzuki picking up the expense of sending a guy that's riding for another team to the races. And there's no benefit to Honda who would now be paying his salary to letting him ride anything but a Honda.

My guess is he's already been riding the Honda behind closed doors. Limited staff on hand to prevent leaks so it's a "need to know" basis of who's there and people sworn to secrecy. Early photos of him on a Honda can cost someone big money. That doesn't mean it's not happening. His setup might not be completely dialed for MEC, but I'm sure he will have something workable for the races.

Put him on a stock honda with a pipe...chances are he's going to be in the top ten. The guy is just really really fast right now.

I hope he announces it similar to Lebron James. "I'm bringing my talents to Honda".

He will ride the Honda on very private tracks but OCT 1 is "official" with Honda.

Didn't Dungey show up at the first MEC with only a week or two on the bike after moving to KTM?

We got a polite phone call asking that it be removed.

We generally don't want to cost anyone any money. That's fair.

Who uses the phone to make a voice call anymore?

Can I re post the pic after the first? Tongue
