Should Honda HRC get Deano for Fill In?

He's very likable and would probably make mains most, if not all the time.

Yes because Deano is awesome and it would a hell of a way to go out....But.. If they are going to get a fill in rider should it not go to someone younger with a bit more prospect ?

Jett probably has more of a right ACL than Dean does right now…

Lars pretty much pegged Dean as the guy if they decide to fill the seat on the pulpmx show monday. With hunter now out too, id say chances are pretty good he gets a call.

I'm a Deano fan, but why would HRC want their bike to be circulating in the middle of the field and lapped by Yamahas? Doesn't seem to me to be a great marketing move.

I think it is a great idea.....  Deano is adored, he's leaving on his terms, plenty of fan attention continuing for himself, and the HRC brand.  He is almost certain to have rider intros at each round for the brand, plus himself......  And lastly, he has earned it to ride off into the sunset on a top level gig with a smile.  Besides, he would still draw an awesome autograph line at the rig for HRC to be proud of.  No negatives that I can think of......  Works out best for every party involved.

Lars seemed to  like the idea on pulp the other night.  Hopefully it happens.

Deano....and Friese for  Jett and Huntahs rides....     Think of the coverage this would get.  🤣

Could HRC give some of the works parts to Fernandez and Savaghty (sic)

My vote is for Friese. Lol

But seriously, just won a title, great starter, doesn't quit, or give up position. No Racer may like that but it would be good optics for hrc. Not to mention his team wouldn't prevent him from going over

No, I like deanO but to see an HRC running around in 17th isn't doing anyone any good. He no longer has the skillset IMO to do it justice.

Vince Friese would be terrible optics for HRC.  Friese's brand - if you want to call it that - is toxic. Do you really think people in HRC, many of whom are close to Justin Brayton, are going to hire Friese who reportedly offered money to to take him out? 

Add to that the fact he is nowhere near fast enough to be on HRC. 

The ridiculous idea of Friese on HRC is got to be one of the worst most unrealistic takes on Vital.

Just won a second tier title

Cross jumps everyone

Takes people out all the time in egregious ways

Terrible optics for HRC

Dirt reputation in the pits
