RJ HAMPSHIRE
Geico Honda rider RJ Hampshire has had a relatively quiet 2016 outdoor season. The Florida kid has struggled with consistency and his starts and they have held him back from where he has been in the past few years. Were used to seeing Hampshire up front and battling early in races but that has not been the
case this season. He is beginning nearly every moto buried in the field making it hard for him to climb to the front. Some crashes have also hindered him along the way derailing some of his better rides. One has to think that with only two top ten overalls this season, Hamsphire has got to be feeling the itch to get back up there where he belongs. If he wants to do that he has to focus on nailing his starts. If he gets those down again he will find himself right in the thick of the battle.
