SEELY RE-SIGNS WITH HONDA
C
ole Seely, who missed much
of the 2018 season recov-
ering from a broken pelvis and
sacrum at the Tampa Super-
cross, will return next year on
his current Honda HRC team.
He recently signed a one-year
contract extension.
"I'm really excited to be re-
signing with American Honda,"
Seely said. "I have an awesome
crew around me and we get
along great, so I'm eager to get
back to work with them. This
past year was really rough, so
to have a company like Honda
continue to back me is amaz-
ing. It's one thing to have brand
loyalty as a rider, but to have
rider loyalty as a brand is saying
something huge. This will be my
10th season on a Honda! I'm
excited for 2019 but am trying to
take things slow and easy right
now so I can build myself up
and not rush the process. We
have started to do some testing,
though, so it's been fun getting
back into the mix." CN
