Matti Lehikoinen Joins Team Honda G-String
- Thread starter rockracing
- Start date
What happened to Cyrille Kurtz? Is he off the team?
That kid is cool as hell and has many many skills on a bike. Good to see him back on a big team roster. I expect some big results from him this year.
Cool news - Honda has help spark some new interest in WC for me again with both good riders and the bike but RR I think G-string is better than G-Cross 
Now if they would show the WC on TV in the states.

Martin Whitely really likes that kid. Hopefully this will help him to get some big results as he is fast as hell....
Awesome, very well deserved after running more of a privateer setup in 2004, he was looking for a bigger and better deal and it doesnt get much bigger than this! Congrats to Matti.
He didnt exactly get the results that Honda was expecting out of him for this season Im assuming. Although he did damn well for an 18 year old I just dont think he was anything spectacular. Im assuming he was hired to come back this year and win junior worlds (which he didnt do) so I guess he got scrapped.dexterq20 said:
I gotta admit MW doesn't have luck on his side when it comes to that damn junior DH title, Minnaar (riding for Kona) choked in '99 ,then Mick Hannah (on Global) did his collar bone in just before worlds when he was the favuorite, Then Matti also didn't make it when he was the Euro champ and now Kurtz this year.
I think he's gotta sponsor a nobody junior to get that title, oh wait Strait will get it next year
