Continuing on in a relationship that has spanned more than two decades, Freddie Spencer and Honda are officially teamed up once again. Beginning in 2002, three-time Grand Prix World Champ Spencer has become the Technical Consultant for Team Honda’s AMA Superbike race team, lending his years of experience in racing, motorcycle set-up and tire development to the already capable arsenal that makes up the Honda roadracing effort.

In 2002, Team Honda riders Nicky Hayden and Miguel Duhamel have racked up a combined nine out of 12 possible wins in AMA Superbike, with Hayden taking a commanding championship points lead less than half way through the season. This year, Spencer is providing support for the Honda team, and has worked with Nicky Hayden and several of the other Honda riders over the past few years as part of the Freddie Spencer High Performance Riding School in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Freddie Spencer is renowned for his ability to understand even the most complex relationships between the bike and rider, and possessing a knack for dissecting the minute aspects of motorcycle set-up and development. He now makes this information open to the masses through his riding school, but on race weekends, you’ll find him on pit wall discussing tactics with the Honda crew and riders.

Honda has established itself over the years as one of the most formidable racing companies in the sport. Now, once again teamed up with Freddie Spencer, Team Honda racing looks to carry on the tradition and continue its winning ways.
