Fredrik Noren to FACTORY HONDA!

Wow

Fawking Awesome! He seemed like a really laid back dude when he was on the pulpmxshow a few weeks back. Good for him.

is that a done deal??

if it is, it would be one of the cooles things to happen in our sport lately.
Fredrik has all my respect for not only going full privateer in such a huge series, but to do it in a foreign country on the other side of the planet!!

he sure deserves all he can get!!

How did Top Jimmy NOT end up with this ride?

jimmy just switched over to ktms.

Nice to see Noren getting this opportunity! Hope he does well.

Where's this information coming from?

I'll be rooting for the guy! Hopefully he does well.

WHAT?

X2

If it's true that would be very cool.

Hey...wheres your link bro?

I'd heard that one over the weekend. Nick Wey, Nick Schmidt, and Fredrik all had rides on the bike in recent weeks.

There´s a site that has written about it. But fredrik does not want this to be public yet because honda has not made it official. I heard he´s not happy about the article.

I just hope for his sake he gets Barcia's bike with Canards set up...

So what are you basing that on? The times you've ridden both bikes?

Good for him.

Well, my Vital intel of course...

His results so far this year have been impressive. He is 13th in the points with the following finishes:

Round 1: 29th 16th
Round 2: 12th 13th
Round 3: 16th 14th
Round 4: 14th 13th
Round 5: 18th 16th

I am pretty sure it's true and I will even reveal my source, lol
I get a news letter from Ride Engineering from time to time and I just got one this Am, saying that Noren is going to be riding the factory Honda. Since Noren is sponsored by Ride NG I am confident that the information is correct.

I had the pleasure of being part of his pit crew this past weekend while at Muddy Creek.I went to the line with him and gave him pit signals.I asked him what Amy posted to him on the pit board and he said that sometimes she put turtles on the board...Fredrick is a class act and very nice young man.I hope this is true because he certainly needs and deserves this ride.

That is awesome!

Hope a factory bike can make him bump up a couple of spots! Top 7's for freddy!

I was surprised at that decision at first, then I looked at the top 20 and aside from Nicolletti, he is the only other logical choice based on "available" talent out there.

Never try to argue with idiots; they will only bring you down to their level.....and being more experienced, they will beat you at their own game!

Quote of the year !!

My father in-law has the nick name of "Factory Freddy"...... Let's all agree to get that going for the new 'Factory Freddy'

Good for Fredrik! Seems like a good dude!

Hard work pays off!

Hope he does well.

Very happy they are letting him ride the factory bike. Way to go Honda. Best of luck Factory Freddie.

Well...if this pans out to be true.....then that is really good news! Happy for him! Give em' hell Fredrik !!
