Looks like Jo is probably out until outdoors do we see them fill his spot? And with who?

Not many good riders available but I'd like to see Deono drop down and race the factory 250.

 Wouldn't the 2 AusX titles make him ineligible?

I don't know to be honest. Has AusSX got anything to do with the US series?

I think Deono is a tad big for a 250 but it will be a huge draw for HRC and the series if he jumped on the bike.

@ML to answer your question.

Hope you are well your side Sully.

 I believe previous AUS SX champions like Jay Marmont & Matt Moss has raced 250's multiple times in the states, . Could be wrong, would love to know how that all works.

Throw that Park on it he seems to be stepping up in SX world and rides a Honda .

Agreed. I like Deano but he filled in for the factory 450 already, let some up and comer get the leg up.

That’s what I was thinking, he seems like the next best “Honda” guy out there. Honda has just a little more presence in the small bore class than Suzuki it seems.

Hanny won it in 2010 and raced a 250 for PC Kawi in 2011, I don’t think it means anything for the ama series.

Park...I forgot about him. He would be the ideal fill in.

Agree, who’s around that’s already on a Honda that’s worth giving a shot more than Park? 
He showed last season he has top 5 speed and his form seems to be on the up. 
Is he with Motoconcepts for 26?

I agree, Wilson is a good dude and would be a great fan draw to the HRC tent but, give an up and comer a shot.

While still eligible, it would never happen.... but available would be Christian Craig for HRC 250 West Coast/Quad Lock 450 for East Coast.

I don’t think Craig is eligible due to winning 250sx for star a few years ago.

Carson Mumford?  Vince?  Maybe a Euro on vacation? Seems strange that there's not any obvious choices who got left out when the teams picked their riders. Fred Noren has filled in before for Honda years ago but just signed with Rock River.

Vince as in Friese?  On a factory Honda?

Let a young kid fill in! Park is a great option.

Everyone will downvote, but he's legit the only rider out there available who can win a race and potentially compete for a title in one of the disciplines. 

He may have to finally fire Mirtz to make that deal happen though!

Masterpool is incredibly talented but his luck, circumstances and sometimes family haven't helped him. I believe with focus and the right team he could potentially be a podium 250 SX guy.

Park would be the best option. I don't think Honda has any contractual obligations, so I guess it's up to them.

He said he signed with Phoenix Honda but I don't suppose they would mind letting him go over to factory Honda.

Mumford is at AEO KTM I think.

What makes you think that he's a SX winner?

Vince on a factory 250 would be fun to watch honestly. One thing you know for sure is hes going to give it his all, an he was a title contender the last 2 seasons he raced 250sx.

That said I always like seeing guys who are on that brand already getting the call up to ride a support or factory teams bike. It allows them to learn what they like and what can be done to the bike so they can go back and improve their normal set ups.
