While the US season has been up and running for over a month, we're still patiently awaiting the start of the 2018 MXGP season. To tide us over, HRC Honda has pulled back the curtain for a peek at their '18 MXGP and MX2 riders. Drool below over the CRF450RW machinery of Tim Gajser and Brian Bogers, along with the works CRF250RW of Calvin Vlaanderen...plus there's some sweet riding shots.

HRC's MX2 rider Calvin Vlaanderen on the left, center is prior MXGP champion Tim Gajser, and to his right is the team's other 450 rider Brian Bogers.

Tim Gajser will have his hands full in the 2018 MXGP season, we're excited for it to get started!

Upright, upside down, reflection, real thing...they all look pretty darn good to us...

Hmm, we think that Tim Gajser's lower triple clamp looks like a stock part that's been coated.

HSF Logistics is now a main sponsor of the HRC Honda team, bringing along with them the two newest riders on the team.

Tim Gajser and the whole team are head-to-toe Fox this year, including the new Vue goggle.

Brian Bogers is healing well from his foot injury and should make his debut with the HRC team early into the MXGP season.
