BTW- I'm pretty sure that the 250 team is NOT a "Factory" effort, but I could be wrong. The 450 Factory Team is RCH, although I'm sure JGR gets what they need as far as parts. Just not the same budget program from Suzuki. Again... I could be off on this, it's just my opinion.
Back on topic, I hope Kyle keeps it up also because it's nice to see someone who could be considered an underdog to have some success. It's kind of like someone mentioned in the Ronnie Ford thread, outside of a certain number of riders the rest of them become another faceless person who most don't even notice let alone pay any attention to. It's not just us fans either as the industry is quick to turn its back on guys like Kyle. It is my belief that some of these guys are only a good bike, good setup and some good knowledgeable people surrounding them from becoming a top 5 or even a podium threat on a given weekend in the 250 class. Look what happened with Jordon Smith, came in showed he was capable of being up there but it never seemed to work out for him for the entire race let alone a series. Moves to a different team, gets set up and routine figured out and comes out swinging this year in 250 east class and is a podium threat and all that from the kid who bonzai'd himself at Monster Cup a few years ago tossing away his good race up until that point. And a kid that some had given up on, makes me wonder how many other kids/guys the industry has given up on that could have went somewhere or done more if they got with the right team where they felt like they fit in.
He's rode a 450 in SX before and had decent results. Would love to see him on the JGR bike this summer too.
