NEWS Geico Honda Team Shuts Down Geico Honda’s Supercross and Outdoor Motocross Team has shut down operations. The announcement comes as the AMA Outdoor season comes to an end. The team released the following statement: “We definitely didn’t see this announcement coming and the term, “all good things must come to an end”, just doesn’t seem fitting. After 22 years and 12 championships, we were forced to make the decision of closing down our race team. We were thrown a curve ball in August by losing our title sponsor. We have worked tirelessly to try and find a replacement but given this unpredictable year, we ran out of time to get something put together. We would like to thank our staff and riders for being as understanding as they can be in this situation. Being forced to close our team doesn’t mean we lose the family we created and no matter where our next chapters take us, our bond will not be broke. Thank you to every team member, rider and
their families who have come through our operation- we truly could not have done it without you. This sport requires a lot of sacrifices from more than just the rider and we have been lucky to have some amazing support systems behind our guys. The team has been operated by Factory Connection for 22 years. Geico has been a sponsor for 13 years. The team has 12 championships.
