Hymas and Shimoda Carrying HRC’s 250 Torch | Honda Racing Manager Brandon Wilson

American Honda Racing Manager, Brandon Wilson, chats with us about the transition from Geico to in-house Honda HRC for their 250 program, and how that's led into the success we now see with Chance Hymas and Jo Shimoda.

Brandon! Solid!

I think the reason people were saying chance was on his way out was because his SX results were terrible all year and the beginning of the year deegan passed him like he wasn’t moving….
I think chance has a great season outdoors and the SX it’s a repeat. You don’t go from 9th SX to winning the next year….

Also keep in mind he’s riding with a torn acl this really is his rookie season imo. He’s only going to get better.

I don't get it. Deegan runs away from them every time he gets a whole shot. Shimoda waits weeks to start. Hymas can't win close because the catch and pass him. The Lawrences are top tier no Comparison. Sorry. None of them will make it in 450. There is only dEEGAN , masterpool , and vialle that will rise to 450. Deegan in 2 years will be podium or better all the time in 450 .

Im hoping outdoors next year! I know its early, but hes almost there, and improving mentally every week it seems!. The maturity process is amazing to see! The only guy beating him last year was Hunter, and hes on the 450 podium every week already!

You’re kinda missing the point, deegan is fast but he is beatable should everyone stop trying because deegan is the fastest, the best, someone has to take 2,3,-40 should all the privateers just throw in the towel because they will never be like deegan. I did not see deegan run down Hymas in moto 2, and I kinda disagree as well will masterpool getting a 450 ride he only shines in mx he’s pretty average in sx.

[@aus-rider]

Do not count your chickens now and predict Deegan and Masterpool, Vialle will make it in the 450s, the bike isn’t a 250 they can throw around, there has been many 250 champions that went to the 450s and have done nothing, I will name a few, Craig, Anderson, Cianciarulo, plessinger, the list goes on.

[@chummy22]

Anderson is a 450 champ ​@@aus-rider
