Heard this news yesterday. Any truth to it? Old Mate can you shed any light and what will happen to your boys if so? And if so that's a major blow to the Oz seen and hopefully not the first of many. Skinsey has been doing that gig for 20 years now. What's he going to do? Get a job at Maitland MC on the tools along with Nathan?

I heard that rumour floating around a while back, but I thought it was squashed recently. I know Mossy's been posting alot of pictures of what looks like a fairly factory prepped Suzuki with a big red plate number 1 on it so looks like he'll atleast be on a yellow bike, whether its a factory team is anyones guess i suppose

Spot on. And is old news. Suzuki and all their sponsors are committed to a full year of racing the MX nationals and SX here in Australia.

I'm hoping it's Boppo. Results haven't been stellar so far on a 450 and he has had great opportunity's and equipment but i think the potential to be a race winner is there, atleast outdoors in my opinion.

Either way another factory bike means another rider making a living racing in Australia and that can't be a bad thing.

Seems I heard bad news. Which is good news and good for all the guys who work for the team. I like seeing Suzuki do well as most seem to under estimate the product and I'm a fan. They have come along way since 97 and all the privateers in SX riding bikes and doing well proves it.

Jake has had some good results on a Kawi but fuck I love seeing both on Suzuki.

As long as he gets paid all good.

I will be the first American to post in this thread, and while my opinion doesn't mean shit..........I hope Suzuki does not pull out, the racing in austraila is awesome. I just wish I was able to see more of it on tv. What's marmont....jay doing this season? I worked at KTM when he was here in the states.....always liked the guy.

Hey Travis, Marmont is back on blue for CDR racing. Back where he won 4 titles, cant wait to see how he goes. The little bit I have read he is very happy with the new bike, hope he can regain the speed, he just couldnt get it togeather on green.
