BREAKING NEWS: RYAN DUNGEY PARTS WAYS WITH GEICO HONDA
Ryan Dungey announced his departure from the Factory Connection Racing team via instagram on Wednesday afternoon. As a long-time Red Bull KTM rider, we were thrown off guard when Ryan first announced that he would join the Geico Honda team as a part owner at the end of last year. You can read all about his decision to join with Honda in our interview with Ryan by clicking here. Now, after less than three months with the team, Dungey has a had a change of heart. He mentioned in his post that the commitment to the team is larger than he can give at this stage in his life and that it’s not his style to do anything half way. Ryan has a seven month old daughter now and he lives in Minnesota while the team is located in Southern California. As stated, the commitment was larger than Ryan can give and we assume that the commute from Minnesota to California and the busy race schedule were exactly what deterred Ryan and caused him to take a step back. We hope to find out more info about his decision to leave the team soon.
