Is Jo going 450 in 2027….with Honda? Anyone know if his lap times were close to the 450s?

It's going to be interesting to se what happens. I thought Honda was looking at Hymas as their long term investment (not named Lawrence), but Jo's been putting in the results all year. I wonder if his performance at des Nations on a 450 will have any affect on Honda's thinking?

Would Honda run 3 or 4 450s?

Honda would make room for a Japanese rider.

Lars seemed to imply he'd be willing to run another 450 for Jo.

That'd definitely be the hope, but it's also no secret that Husky was talking to him earlier in the season.

Jo's been the biggest surprise of the year for outdoors.

Well, the biggest positive one. 
Joe has always had end of year speed. Someone just needs to tell him he’s going into the finale at every race.

No, that's RJ for sure. Jo had some dominant rides before, just gotta do this from the beginning of the season. A couple years ago I really thought he would be the next big thing and take over the 250 class once the hunter brothers move up, he has the talent and speed for sure as we all can see, but it seems like he always gets going once he's out of the points already.

I really wonder how this years SX season would have went if he didn't broke his hand/finger. Winning the first round and then having this shit happening to him the next round already.. He looked good
