Tedesco looked awesome in practice, i thought he had something for em this year, but didn't seem to keep pace during the races. shorty finished about where he always does.

Exact reason Bobby i think you'll see Honda with Sat teams starting next year and no big rigs from Team Red.

I dunno top 5 for Davi isnt good?? He put in two solid Motos on a bike that most still dont feel at home on. IT9 was riding well but when he took a digger and I think he hit his head pretty good, as for Shorty 5th in Moto 1 and then something happened in the second.

IT has never been a threat. When he won his title in the Lites he did not DOMINATE in true Champion style, He was just on the right team at the right time. He definitely looked faster on Suzuki's though. I thought he was training at Camp Carmichael? I wonder why that has not shown in his results? I am a Honda fan but I am starting to believe it may be the bike???

Davi just seems to be going through the motions??? Maybe someone can enlighten us....is it the dreaded epstein barr? That seems very popular when guys are underperforming.

Short is tenacious that guy just rides his own race and once in a while maybe his speed will be faster than everyone else's. When it isn't he still seems to find his way towards the front somehow some way. The mechanical in the 2nd moto killed him.

Those guys are running top ten easily, I am not sure how much you can ask of them with a bike they are still getting comfortable on. I am sure Honda wants to win, but it is pretty hard to outrun RV, CR, or MA.

Rumor has it that Mitch Payton had an offer on the table before the second moto ended.

Short did how he always does, just some bad luck in moto 2.

Millsaps is the same story every year, SX or MX does so.so for awhile then lights up at a around and does awesome then people jump on his wagon, the pattern repeats its self throughout the season.

Tedesco IMO been a waist of money since hopping on the 450.

I know one Team Honda rider that went 1-1. That doesn't count for anything in this discussion?

Odd that we think so highly about that team, despite them not performing? Is this because they did so good in the eighties and nineties, or is it because their bikes are so popular? One gets the impression that their team are top notch, but they still "sux"?

If they let this new kid on the block Barcia slip, they are a bunch of muppets. Maybe they need to deliver something now, since their new bike is damaging their previous solid reputation of building the best bikes (which means sales).

I don't know what they are doing, but something isn't splendid under their tent. Bad bike, and bad results...

Lets see IT do it 2 or 3 weeks in a row.

One solid result does not make a season. Then again in IT's case it might.
