Its an irony that you say it looked so ‘dialled’ when it actually spat poor Eli off ending his season.

LOL ! I hope you don’t really believe that it was the bike..

And, with regard to the thread, Tomac wasn't riding for HRC.
No, he wasn’t if you want to be specific, but wasn’t the Geico team getting factory support on his 450 ?
Just like in 11 CR22 had his own team with some factory support going off memory.

In the 70,s the Europeans came to the US to make money cause they were faster.
Would Honda pay Tiga more to come to the US to try to win an outdoor title cause he's probably faster.
What is the AMA outdoor title value compared to mxgp?

Figured I would piggyback off this thread instead of making a new one. But what's up with HRC? Imagine if Jett wasn't there carrying the team.

That would be shit for Honda coming off last season but Honda saw the potential early on with the Lawrence package.

It's paying off for Honda and it may continue paying for the next 5 yrs or so.

I’m confused; Gajser has delivered HRC multiple world championships, Sexton won SX last year, Jett went undefeated in outdoors and is leading SX this year. Hunter as the second rider is consistently top 10 as a rookie in the ‘deepest field in history’. 2024 MXGP is yet to start……

Why are you asking what’s up with HRC??? They’re currently doing the best they have for 20 years.

I think he means if Jett wasn't there hrc would be 10th in 450s. And there east west guys would be not going very well.

I get that, but if they didn’t have Jett, they would have gone after someone else as their number one rider, and there’s no way of knowing who that would have been, or how they’d have performed, so it’s kind of a moot point.

Fair point, tough hypothetical given, as you say, if Jett wasn't around they would have got the cheque book out and made something else happen.

But I hear what he's saying, besides Jett it's not a stellar start to the year in the US.

They can take comfort from looking at Husqvarna though I guess 😂 (no disrespect to Mookie, he's a beast)

Jett really is next level.  His talent is what made Honda look so special last year.  At that level, all factory bikes are good enough to get the job done.  It is all about who is sitting on top of the bike.

Honda does have Jett though…

Everyone kinda has an excuse except Jo imo. He really should be competing for wins but his poor starts and lack of intensity in the first few laps have kept him firmly out of this SX championship. Hoping for better results come outdoors.

Yup. All they gotta do is pay him and keep him happy by giving Hunter a ride. They will own the better part of the next decade

Does Hymas have actual damage in his knee or is it just a little tweaked? He absolutely has the speed to win imo.

Bummed for Hunter. He was riding really good. Up to p5 and closing in on P4..hopefully he’s all good.

Can we agree Sexton was gifted the championship? Had there not been a fluke injury to ET, Sexton gets #2 so without Jett and Hunter, HRC in the USA would need CPR.
