Well...Suzuki just admitted they can't win and have about zero interest in winning. Bravo.

Hill had a full year contract and Reed was SX only (now hurt)...budget is tight for a second 450 guy to run outdoors..

Maybe they will let J. Hill perform his setlist in the JGR pits after the race?

Because he sure seems to be trying harder at being a musician than a Motocross racer...

Does Peters bring money to the table to be able to be the 3rd rider?

I would image they would have rather had Jimmy D as their guy. But with him dealing with Lyme again Peters is the obvious choice since he’s already with them

Yes because Jimmy D running between 15-20 is worth it. Give Peter's a chance as the guy earned a chance in sx

Does JGR have any real interest in winning a championship, or winning anything? Even one race? What the fuck are these clowns doing besides wasting sponsorship money?

Very odd situation over there... What do NFL/NBA etc.. teams do when they have consecutive losing seasons? Coaches and GMs get fired is what happens.

Good for Peters but I think Lopes might have been a better investment for Suzuki going forward. No disrespect to KP but he's kind of where he's at whereas Lopes is still developing. However, I believe Lopes is also dealing with a scaphoid fracture so maybe Peters got the nod as a result.

Awesome. Look forward to see how A-mart does on the new bike. Good for Peters. Hoping JGR has a healthy outdoor season to try and lock down some good sponsors for next year.

I looked it up, Jimmy D has been pro for 10 years and his best moto finish ever was a 15th. Peters has been pro 8 years and his best moto finish is a 9th. Last year was Lopes' rookie year (and he was moved up from amateur a year too early) and he got a 12th. I think I'd roll with the youngster, unless Peters is bringing money.

Lopes is injured at the moment.

Seriously though, I hope Hill defies all haters and naysayers and does a helluva job in the 450's. We've seen him go stupid fast...sol it's not his speed...it's his dedication and work ethic that's in question. Seems like that was said about a kid named Lechien a few years back as well...

yup, he returned to Brazil to recover from his injury. According to his trainer, they're planning to return for the last 5 rounds

I’m personally not a Hill fan this season either as from my view he seems to be mailing it in...but... I would back you and say it would be a great story if he came out swinging.

JGR could use something like that and maybe it helps them for next season
