My ol buddy Ray Tetherton deserves it, that guy does so much for that team and has so for many yrs.

Not sure if he would take it though, he likes working behind the scenes.

It's not RC, it's not Robert Pastrana, it's not Ray Tetherton, it's not Tony Alessi, it's not RJ that I know for sure, it's someone who has over 15 years with Suzuki oh and it's not Pat Alexander, just thinking out loud on people who have been at Suzuki that long...So keep guessing people, it's a guess for me too I just know who it isn't !

The factory team will fold and suzuki will use satellite teams just like Yamaha. But as for a new manager for one of the teams..My guess is Tim "Tooltime" McAdams

Why do you guys all assume that just because they can twist the throttle that they could successfully run a team?
I'm not picking on GL8 specifically, but your post just made that thought pop into my mind... whenever someone starts suggesting team managers there is always a few riders thrown into the hat.

That name even goes back to Rich Thorwalson, Mike Runyard, & John DeSoto and the TM400.

I am sticking with Toshi's son little Tosh then. My dad used to work with Little Tosh so once in awhile we would get some pit passes and such. I bleed yellow.

Not the TK I was thinking but man great guess.

I don't think Jeff Stanton was a team manager at Honda, more like Ricky Johnson at Suzuki, more mentor to the younger riders.

I think you're right. Ray has been at Suzuki for ever, and been Roger's right hand man for years. Although Lee is very knowledgeable, and has been there since 92 or 93, he's just not the type of guy to be a team manager.

I remember seeing RJ at the races a several years back now with Suzuki maybe doing something similar with riders at Jeff Stanton.

I never read anything on here why he decided to leave.

Did Roger Decoster and RJ have a falling out again?
