Man, you can really tell how bummed he is. This has to be really tough on these rookies. Hope he finds a new team for 2021.

His plans? Right now he obviously has no clue about the future. In the first minute you could tell he is lost as to what to do next

Dude finished 3rd in the point in 250SX East with 7 top 10s in 9 races... Some team will pick him up. But maybe not FC Honda caliber. He's been really solid, outdoors as well

Agree. He got lost in the hype for Jett, which was deserved, but he was super solid for a rookie. His talent and results will get him on another good bike. Might be a step back next but if he rides and improves like he should the better teams will be coming after him. Mumford is more of a bummer for me. Hes not quite at Jett or Jo's level. It's gonna be tougher for him

I would bet $20 bucks that they talked about it on or off camera and chose to not share.

Agreed, Mumford did not even get a chance to show what he has. But sounds like Mumford has at least 1 offer on the table so, we hope to see what he can do.

Tough times are ahead for the industry for the time being. Sure, everything that gets delivered to a dealership sells almost immediately, but the problem is that a lack of components and raw materials from suppliers is dramatically reducing the number of units the OEMs have to sell. If Honda is only invoicing dealers for half as many units, it doesn’t help Honda a bit that dealers are getting top dollar at retail.

If the rumor is true and he has a ride with Phoenix Honda, will he be only supercross? I don't know if that team races outdoors, correct me if I am wrong.

If they're getting Honda support via the rumor, I would hope that would mean they get enough funding to do outdoors.

When he was coming out of amateurs, weren't Honda and Kawi both in hot pursuit of his services? Wonder if Kawi inquired about him before they finalized their roster for '21.

I know right. Can't get enough of these pointless videos! Hope he lands a decent ride.
