We have a ton of respect for the speed and talent he regularly demonstrates on the track, and even more so for the heart and dedication he has shown in returning from severe setbacks. In light of recent comments, we felt the need to clarify a couple of points. We were looking forward to continuing with Ken in 2023, and we recently made him an offer of a contract extension. That offer has never been rescinded, but it was declined by Ken and his team. It\u2019s true that the offer included a stipulation that Ken not compete in a series that has positioned itself as a direct competitor to our supercross and motocross racing partners. We feel it\u2019s important to support our racing partners and to treat all of our riders the same.

Lindstrom replaces Erik Kehoe who officially announced retirement last month.\r\n\r\nLindstrom has long been involved with American Honda motocross racing, joining the team in 2000 as a shop assistant and working his way up the ladder. Lindstrom was most recently a 450-crew chief. Lindstrom has worked with Honda\u2019s legendary riders such as Chad Reed, Ricky Carmichael and Jeremy McGrath. Lindstrom\u2019s father AMA hall of famer Gunnar Lindstrom spent two years in 1979 and 1980 managing the Honda motocross team.\r\n\r\n\u201cI\u2019m thankful for this opportunity that Team Honda HRC has given me,\u201d Lindstrom said. \u201cMy nearly two decades with Honda have been great, and I\u2019m excited for many more years to come. With my background, I feel I have the experience, knowledge and work ethic to be at the helm of the team. I\u2019m also proud to have a personal relationship with every single Honda team manager since my father held the position, which is a huge reason for my passion and connection to the team.\u201d","excerpt":"<p>Lars Lindstrom has been promoted to the role of team manager for the factory Team Honda HRC motocross and supercross &hellip;<\/p>","date":"October 15, 2021 20:48","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25048476,"title":"american honda","slug":"american-honda"},{"id":25048359,"title":"erik kehoe","slug":"erik-kehoe"},{"id":25047643,"title":"Honda","slug":"honda"},{"id":25048358,"title":"honda hrc","slug":"honda-hrc"},{"id":25048475,"title":"hrc","slug":"hrc"},{"id":25048474,"title":"lars lindstrom","slug":"lars-lindstrom"},{"id":25047621,"title":"motocross","slug":"motocross"},{"id":25047620,"title":"supercross","slug":"supercross"}]}]{
