Even then, how is the Honda superior at the moment? Does it have a special design that is clearly superior to other manufacturers? Thus allowing the rider to go faster? Clearly, Kenny says it is not the all be all bike. 

Chassis. Everybody knows that.

Question is, will he be any better?

 

From watching the club video's he seemed to enjoy that atmosphere.

I wonder if this is what makes the Jett Reynolds to ClubMX puzzle piece fall into place.

TEENAGER SET TO OPEN FULL-TIME AMA SUPERCROSS AND PRO MOTOCROSS CAREER WITHIN SMX SERIES

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing will take Casey Cochran into the professional ranks full-time in 2024, scheduled to contest the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) onboard the FC 250.

Cochran, 17, has enjoyed an outstanding final year in amateur competition, in which he clinched the Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C class title in the 2023 AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn's, as well as the Supercross Futures AMA National Championship in Salt Lake City and the Moto Combine overall at RedBud.

The teenage Virginia native gained immense experience in his first pro-level appearances across the final two rounds of this year's AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Budds Creek and the Ironman National, which will also help in setting him up for a full-time transition next year with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing.

"I've really enjoyed this past year working with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing and getting to know everyone, so I’m super-excited to extend what we have going on and progress into the pro ranks with such a good team behind me," Cochran commented. "Couldn’t be more stoked for the future!"

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager, Nathan Ramsey, welcomed Cochran to the factory program and is excited to see him progress throughout the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship and Pro Motocross Championship, leading into the SMX Finals series.

"Casey put together an amazing final year as our elite Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing amateur athlete and he absolutely hit all the marks that we put together for him to earn his first pro contract," explained Ramsey.

"I am both happy and proud to have Casey join our pro team. He's a very hard worker and is full of potential for a great future with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team. Now, I am looking forward to spending some time with him during the off-season as he builds into 2024."

Privateer on Kawasakis for 250 West is what I've heard.

I’m a huge believer in Casey. I hope he sees a lot of success.

The Kid has not stayed healthy since he turned pro. I would imagine he will need to race some races before someone takes a investment in him.

Pretty confident he’s going to be riding for them.

If I recall correctly,  it was not the transition to pro. It was the transition to the big bike that seemed to not work out. Had a great mini cycle record, then injuries hit when he went to the 250f

Technically the WSX team is Pipes Motorsports Group, not HEP. I don't think Suzuki Motors USA has anything to do with the WSX team.

I wonder if he signs two contracts, one for hep and one for pipes. I doubt it.

It wouldn't shock me if there were multiple contracts. He has one with WSX by example and quite possibly one with PMG for that series.

Good question, I have no idea. I've never seen an explanation for having two different teams. My guess is WSX was something Dustin Pipes wanted to do and maybe his HEP partners and stakeholders weren't interested?

It would be interesting knowing the ins and outs of everything. Sucks this sports so private with that kind of stuff.
