When you think of Kevin Schwantz, you tend to think of Suzuki. After all, he honed his skills early on GSX-Rs in AMA racing and his 1993 500cc World Championship and all of his 25 GP wins came on Suzukis. So when news broke in Monday's Cycle News earlier this week that Schwantz would be the team manager of American Honda's one-race Moto2 effort with Kevin Erion and Roger Lee Hayden, it came as a bit of a shock.

We caught up with Schwantz today to talk about his new role for the Indianapolis U.S. Grand Prix on August 29.

Following an earlier release outlining American Honda’s intention to participate in the Moto2 class at the 2010 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix, August 27 to 29, American Honda now announces that the team will be led by Kevin Schwantz.

Schwantz, the 1993 500cc Grand Prix World Champion, has a wealth of racing knowledge and currently runs the Schwantz School, where riders can learn from the best aboard Honda CBR600RR machines. “It’s an honor for me to be chosen as team manager,” said Schwantz. “We’ve been using CBR600RRs for some time now at our schools, and I’ve ridden a Moto2 bike and it’s very good. I watched the first three Moto2 races and I expect the racing to be just as good at Indy.”
