RJ HAMPSHIRE
Coming into Foxborough, RJ Hampshire is yet to make the podium in the 2016 series, even after an impressive 2015 sea- son. The Geico Honda rider was able to lock-
up 5th place last year, after being absent in the second to last round but has stumbled in return- ing to the same sort of consistency. After six rounds so far in the 2016 season, RJ’s best finish was a 4th in St. Louis last weekend. Hoping to start a trend in the right direction, Geico Honda and Hampshire have set themselves up nicely
for late-season charge
coming into Foxborough.
Two rounds to go and
two chances left before
the high-stake environ-
ment of the final round in
Las Vegas, everyone will
be going all out to prove >> which 250 rider holds the
best hand. Hampshire
is feeling the pressure while trying to keep the game-face strong as
the season got one step closer with round seven of the East series in Mas- sachusetts.
