You hear comments about Feld blocking sponsor activation (PulpMX), and I'm not going to pretend like I know all the other issues there could be between existing JGR sponsors and potential new ones. It's just unfortunate a committed team like them have to struggle to stay afloat when they're the "factory" team.

You want to have as high a markup as you can with as little money spent.
As far as sponsors they probably say I have spent x amount of dollars on this team but have only made x amount of money from it and they can kind of monitor through metrics and sales. If sales improve big time after making an advertisement expense then can be attributed to that.
Sponsorship is probably more branding than anything. You want to get your name out there in front of people.
For example my car dealer can run billboard ads and radio spots or tv spots for branding but can spend money in getting leads right away through another medium and translate into sales quickly where branding gets your name recognition out there so people associate your name with the product they are wanting. Hence why people associate monster with energy drinks because of branding so when you walk into a store and look at all the different energy drinks you are more likely to pick monster subconsciously because you see and hear it a lot.
So they are looking for ways to maximize exposure of there business with as little investment as possible. Hence why it’s so important for the riders to wear the gear and hold the drinks when on tv after they win. It reaches a larger audience.

if the team gets funding he'll be back, if not he'll go where someone can house him
Wishing him all the best going forward.
But sounds more like they are done as in done. I thought AMart had a 2 year deal, but they can just buy that out and stop throwing dollars chasing dimes.
If JGR can't be successful and keep a team alive, other than MCR and RM, the list of top tier teams (other than factory) is pretty much in ICU. Many small budget teams but does not look good for longevity of the non-factory teams.

As far as satellite teams, it is getting kinda scary how many teams have left the sport. Having the MCR and RMATV teams really helps the sport, IMO.
Really hope JGR can land a sponsor though
JGR Suzuki money goes Suzuki Europe... ??
What team takes over the factory Suzuki effort?
Is this true?
From what side is this from - The Sponsors, The respective Sports' controllers, be it the France family ( I think they are The Power in NASCAR, but may be wrong) or Feld, or, the Team : JGR, itself etc, etc??????
I've read that NASCAR has severely contracted in the last few years. I've seen how massive the various NCar teams are - I think JGRs set up has been highlighted in a few Bike magazine articles.
In a time of contraction within NCar, you'd think that Sponsors of JGRs NCar side would see just a bit of value in SX?
I was stunned at the size of NCar teams, and the MC side of JGR would, comparatively, be Peanuts to run.
Just questions on my part. Educate me, if any of you will.
My wishful thinking has him putting a final SX-only deal together and becoming a permanent fixture on the JGR management team.
They won't even allow a team to sell merch.
There is a lot of great stuff on here if you are willing to work past the bs.
