Reason For Being
The 2025 season was an uneven ride for the Honda HRC Progressive factory team, filled with both highs and lows for all four of their riders: Hunter and Jett Lawrence, Jo Shimoda, and Chance Hymas. We recount their turbulent season, titled “Good Year, Bad Year,” starting on page 60, through the headlines of Honda’s public relations team.
