Friend of mine spoke with Joe Gibbs this morning and said ...

"I talked to Joe
He didn't confirm but gave me the impression that they will be on Suzuki"

So does that make you all happy?

You're way behind on this one man. You understand this is a hardcore moto site so we get posts on here the second stuff hits right? I mean we've been hearing about this for over a week. As many have told me, the search function is your friend.
^^^ what he said^^^ I would go on to say this is "The Hard Core Moto Site". I get more out of this forum than scanning all of the other moto-mag sites put together. If you want to know what's going on in MX/SX worldwide, Vitalmx is where it's at.........GuyB, I accept payment in denominations of 12.....12pks that is. lol

I would agree, but the ones they are showing aren't yellow. They also just posted one a little bit ago of two dirty helmets sitting next to some blue yz plastic with Filthy's number 34. I could be wrong, but that leads me to believe they are still riding the yz's. At least for now.

I can really imagine that RCH won't be so happy, if JGR goes to Suzuki. No top riders available for them, so it looks very possible that support team is beating factory team whole year...

Does it really matter? Just asking how it affects us or them. They know how to race them and we know how to watch them.

I just spoke to my buddy, who is Tyler's uncle. He says he can't confirm it, but it does look like he has the strangest boner right now.

Finally! The switch from the blue pig is loooong overdue...enter the old Yellow goat! Can't wait to see Barcia and Peick on the Zook. I'm expecting better results next year...we'll finally see if it's the bike, or Barcia.....

This is great news for every fan of the sport!! It means we will most likely never see the dreaded Barcia out of gas/Tundra commercial ever again. With Toyota having a vested interest in Yamaha, and JGR being on Suzuki, unless Suzuki builds a pickup truck for US market it's finally over. Grinning

There was no mention of it in the article, but if you were Toyota and you had a lot of money tied up in Yamaha, would you sponsor a team that rode Suzuki?

I'm guessing we won't see JGR on yellow until A1?
barcia said at smx that he hopes he can tell people more about what's going on with the team next week aka this week. so 50/50 I'd say that they will line up. depending on how much involved yosh is and if they can provide a engine package if jgr had no time to do anything themselves as of now, then I would say they will race. but only then.

So you're saying there's a chance??? That would be sweet to see them show up at the MEC with the new bikes, but I would think we would have seen some spy photos of them testing by now.

I don't know more than you about it but this is supposedly peick a couple days ago. pretty sure barcia wants to race it as a former winner of the event.

Is that Peick? Looks like it could be him, big dude. I would be so stoked to see those guys on RMZ's next weekend.

All they need is stock triple clamps.
