Found this old picture of Roger deCoster washing off his own bike and it got me thinking,
"How many people does it take to put a modern day Supercross rider on the podium?
Take James Stewart as an example, here's a listing of who he has in his corner!
Team Manager larry Brooks
Mechanic Oscar Wiredman
Practice bike Mechanic ?
Big rig truck driver
Team Advisor Eric Sorby
Press officer PR guy ?
Agent ?
Suspension mechanic?
Motor Mechanic ?
Answer clothing guy ?
Oakley goggle guy Anthony Paggio
Nike boot guy ?
Doctor ?
Trainor Aldon Baker
Nutritionalist ?
Father Big James
Various man friends x 3
I reckon thats at least 20 people backing up one rider.
I'm not bagging on James here, just using him as an example as it's almost the same
for many of the other factory riders.
Makes you wonder if James has ever had to wash off his own bikes? Can he change an air filter himself?

You listed 20 positions, and almost half of them are not even on the team's payroll. 5 positions listed include family and friends, so they're really not "positions" they're just filler boosting your count (assuming the question marks mean you're not really sure if the position exists). Which positions would you cut?
