Finally a fill in rider at HRC. Good to see Todd back on the MXGP scene. Curious to see what he can do.

Bogers getting that ride is a strange one. He must've brought money to the table. He's a good rider but IMO not worthy of a HRC MXGP ride.
The Shop
The athlete brings with him/her a sponsor or two.
Vlaanderen is taking the opportunity with both hands, and showing the world he can be a front runner with a great bike. So I guess or feel that he will be the replacement of Hunter Lawrence and stay on Honda in 2019. Bogers is screwed I guess or HSF will help them as personal sponsor so he can help himself into a other team like AssoMotors. But HSF can only help with other Honda teams because that is part of the contract with HRC.
Hopefully it is a bit easier this time for him he likes the Honda and is pretty comfortable on it and has a decent run over there!
Just meaning, after his podium at Latvia last year and the injury that followed, I expected much more of Vlaanderen. Like not too far behind Olsen in the standings as of now.
Yes, I know that many athletes bring with them a sponsor or sponsors.
It was about the previous poster implying / deducing that Waters had bought his way into a Team - when (one of) the Main Team sponsors, being HSF, have brought him in. They - HSF - are already well and truly 'there', don't you think? So Waters really didn't 'buy his way in, by bringing HSF'.
Do the US Nationals on your own dime, or take up a ride back in the GPs, where you may at least have someone else paying for it? Not a hard decision. I hope it works out for Todd.
I'm not overly patriotic when it comes to OZ riders - I'm just always glad to see them make that very big effort and get out of Australia. Heck, because of my Danish relo's (that I've often traveled with to GPs), I'm more of a TKO follower, than the Aussies in MX2
Pit Row
depends on how long you can ride that super trick true factory works honda though
They're only guessing how long Bogers will be out. Waters might be out with 2 months of AMA racing still left. SO he might still go over and do the rest.
I hope he does good in MXGP and stay for the whole season
AJ or Lupino would be better choices
