Muscle Milk is not a personal sponsor of Justin's it has been a coincidence that he has ended up on the teams that he has ridden for the last few years....They are the title sponsor of the Honda race team.

Don't be surprised if the JGR bike has some Muscle Milk logos on it next year.

You're wrong about it being a coincidence. KTM/MDK, JGR and now Honda.

Really??? and you know this how? look up the definition of coincidence....Muscle Milk going to Honda had nothing to do with Brayton.

Did Honda not want him or did he go for the better money deal? With James out of the picture, you gotta believe that JGR had to have plenty of funds to lure Justin.

The way I see it, he went to Honda because he felt it was a step up....which logically would mean going back to JGR is a step down.

On the bright side, the best way for a "almost there but not quite" rider to shorten his career (in my opinion) is to jump from team to team. You eventually run out of teams. If Honda didn't want him, at least going back to JGR leaves plenty of options in the future should he have another so so year.
he had a 1 year offer from Honda, he wanted 2 years. He left JGR on good terms...it has been a life long dream to ride factory Honda, so when the opportunity came, he took it! he had a lot to overcome this year, mostly injuries, and still raced (with a broken leg) and finished 4th in SX. Outdoors have been rough on him. He has a place back in NC, his g/f is from there, he loves it there...they offered him 2 years - he took it.

He had good results there before and he will have good results there again. This, in no way, is a step back. Everyone is comfortable on different machines and settings. They invested in a solid racer and a hard worker - a rider that will get top 5's in SX and, when healthy, MX - a kid that doesn't drink and party and takes his job very serious. In my opinion, that is pretty hard to come by!! And, how many races did he miss this year? I'm happy for him, not many riders get what they are looking for...and he did here.

Brayton took muscle milk to honda, i heard that from the man himself, he setup the right people to talk and it came together. Honda didnt go look for muscle milk and muscle milk didnt go look for honda.
