I agree! Bowman is usually pretty accurate with these things.

It would make sense on why not much has been said other than Dylan has something lined up for next year.  I hope its true.

I spoke to a good source yesterday that spoke to Ziggy directly about it. Sounded like they're working on something but it wasn't a go. Sounded like some serious funding (just to cover staff for the season needed to work on the project, along with materials, etc) needed to be found to make it work...

FC has the ability…given the right level of support, to provide Ferrandis with a bike that is on the same level as the factory bikes of the Lawrence brothers. I think Dylan would be great on a Honda.

No, it would be their own deal.

Gary also says the 81 RM125 is still competitive today.

I’m not an expert at all but isn’t the Honda kind of known to be on the quick turning/twitchy side? The 21 Yamaha he won on was a (very fast) sled, super stable. At least that’s what people said about it. The new 23 Yamaha sounds like it’s moved more to the quick twitchy side and he seems to hate it.

It's almost October and still looking for funding in the current financial climate? Not a good sign but I sure hope we see it happen.

This kind of answers the question about a mystery team that might be coming back next year.

They have a brace that is widely known to be helping things there. 

Dylan can win motors outdoors on an FC Honda. He’ll be the new K-dub!!!

May not be wrong, but better be real good to back that up. Be hilarious to see it against a 24 anything, even better though if the rider on the 81 did beat the new bike guy. Gary sure held his own against the factory guys BITD

The Honda factory team has a brace for the frame that is said to steady the twitchy-ness.

Jett used it outdoors. Chase used it indoors.

Kdubs a legend and one of the best people I've met. But one 14 has a title.
