My point was Honda already has proven 450 winners they have invested millions upon millions on, as well as many years and a shit ton of infrastructure. They already have 450 wanna be Jo waiting, they have invested time and money in. Why bring back the "problem child" or "prodigal son"?
Wasn't disagreeing, kind of asking a rhetorical question.
I'm old enough to remember when all three of those riders were injured and missing supercross simultaneously. Like, last year.
Also you seem to be implying he'll be in the same truck as the Lawrences. Otherwise, I don't get the "problem child" remarks and how that would apply.
One point is…while I am a HUGE Jo fan…he looked really pretty bad/uncomfortable on the 450 in AusSX. He looked awesome just over a year ago at MXDN on a 450….but for SX, based on how he looked and what he said, I question his ceiling on a 450 in SX. Until/IF he titles out of 250 SX, I would leave him there. Yes…I get it. Not much time on a 450 but…Honda might be thinking the same.

I was amazed how bad he looked on the 450.... maybe the injuries have piled up and that last couple of percent just ain't there anymore...
Half of your posts are you suggesting riders are past their prime.
You’re nauseating.
Sexton is immune to injury? And if Yarrive hires Sexton you know he will need Honda's financial and technological support.
I can't imagine Jo might get a little pissed about Honda paying a third 450 rider that isn't him.
Your response sure sounded like a disagreement but maybe I misinterpreted it. Anywho just sign already chase this is nauseating.
Given the MXGP bike is based on the new 27 and they have had that now for a year or two then I bet there are plenty of factory parts available
It took 9 pages to get to this meme? Shameful forum performance.
Chase will blame Honda for not having enough parts.
When in reality he crashed more on the Honda than any other manufacturer. He crashed out of the lead over 15 times in Supercross alone. Same with KTM. The saga continues…
That's like saying Beaumer is a little pissed about Tedder signing Webb.
Konsky has his own team with his own sponsors, his own technical partners, and his own budget. Honda does give them a lot of support but that's nothing new and not coming out of the HRC race team budget. Quadlock signing Sexton doesn't affect Shimoda.
HEP and it's technical partners built a winning bike with zero factory support.
From above YT Swap clip, KTM had let go of a mechanic it was holding for Sexton. So KTM out.
Suzuki not as certain, but apparently a bike was built for him but it was unclear if he rode it.
And the conclusion was Quadlock Honda announcement in a few days since only thing that doesn't seem to be ruled out.
Chase is going to Quadlock and is already on the 27.
Honda are paying win bonuses and championship bonuses.
Chase is bringing all of his own sponsors.
KDUB training him and working with him.
Freedom to run what he wants.
Should be a good fit.
Different teams and different type of racing.
Lewis said if Jett were healthy they would have had trouble getting both him and Hunter bikes to train on. And the development for gp and SX is going to be a completely different bike.
Those Honda in gp are pre production and not homologated
Regarding all the hypothetical Sexton/ Quadlock/ HRC talk; y’all forgetting that Quadlock has been the Australian factory Honda team for years, and while it may not have the same budget and resources as US HRC, there is an established relationship with HRC Japan.
You don’t think the prospect of an all red podium would be appealing to Honda?
do you think riders working their way to the top are more interested in winning as much as possible to be the best or making sure of their spot in the contract sweepstakes. 1 school of thought is the accomplishments should drive the salary demands? I have no clue.
Pit Row
He has already picked up a bike and doing laps at KW14s place.
My money is on Star Yamaha. Please refer back to this post when his ride is announced for a “ I told you so “.
From what I read, Sexton left HRC Honda before because…or at least largely because the Lawrence bros were coming and that meant he wouldn’t have been top rider on the team any more. QuadLock might run a leased HRC factory 450, and it will no doubt have some trickery…but like you, I doubt he’ll have access to all the parts & setup numbers that Jett & Hunter have. I’d bet Dazzy has some input in that.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
Factory parts and constraints have been a problem as often as they've been a help to sexton over the past few years. I think people are confusing the paycheck with the parts. People have said chase is the least money motivated guy out there, so if the handful of things he wants from a factory team like a transmission and bonuses are agreed on by Honda and he's otherwise left to himself to figure it out..... sounds perfect. The roczen parallels here are obvious. An all Honda podium without Honda having to put much effort into it the third guy is big win for Honda.
Not saying it will work, but plenty of reason to think it can.
Man I love the weak minded like you.. chompn up the chittiest lure in the box!!! 🤣🤣 now get back to work slave....
I think people forget that no matter how good the Lawrences are for Honda, HRC would love to have an American winning on the Honda and atleast an American riding a Honda at the front.
For all we know Roczen is making more money now than he has elsewhere, maybe Chase is following a new model.
Aussies winning on an American Honda team or an American winning on an Aussie Honda team 😂
i was just about to write that ! haha good spot
Does anyone really think the Lawrence family would be cool with Honda giving Chase relatively equal machinery?
