He will be racing in Swizerland and German champs I think???
I find it weird that Suzuki makes money free for Teillet and they have money short for Tonus ... Why didn't they keep Tonus and just didn't sign Teillet. That guy didn't did anything good the last two years. He is still a great talent but not as Tonus.

But you have a point Teillet is maybe three of four times cheaper then Teillet ... Strange is also that they doesn't give a ride on Soubeyras or something but that they give a ride on Schiffer ... (with German Suzuki support) Soubeyras at a 250cc 4t. I would love to see what that kid could to because he is talented and he is just searching for a ride he doesn't need to pay for!
Didnt take Zach too long to earn respect over here, think he came 2nd or 3rd in his first race at Foxhills and was clearly fast as hell. He's another nice guy too.
(Uh, so, no-one noticed that Teka was on various "Suzuki Teams" in 2010? Like the U.S. Nat's?)
Oh, O.K.
Whatever you say.
Ultimately Teka is a German white goods company that initially helped create a German MX2 Suzuki team in '08, based entirely around Roczen as their sole rider.
They increased their sponsorship to cover the MX1 Suzuki team and naturally, as an international brand they want to cover as many markets as possible. Im guessing the sponsorship you saw first was on Desalle's bike when he raced Unadilla...? At some point they agreed a mutual deal with Rockstar which meant both would share sponsorship commitments to Suzuki teams on either side of the Atlantic.

The championships you European's have isn't half as good as the U.S. if it was people form over there wouldn't come here!

I mean you don't have to handle with Youthstream. You don't need to pay 50€ to see a National. If you calculate 50€ is 66$ that is SICK!
A football (soccer) match is roughly the same price and that lasts 90 minutes, going to see a high profile band costs about £30 in England, and they might only play for an hour. The cheapest ticket for the F1 at Silverstone costs £125 (160$)!
But that is no offense to you. In Europe they ask more to make more profits they only forget that then there are people are stop coming to events... Very stupid! Motocross is a family sport than you don't need to ask 50€ because then you need to pay 200€ for a family of 4persons that is insanity.
It's about how if Roczen does win, all that will be on here is about how the GP riders are superior now, etc. The fact that you think there is some insecurity involved speaks about your own thought process. I could care less who wins as long as it is great to watch and everyone goes at it fair and square. Non-Americans will be the ones tooting the GP horn espousing the downfall of AMA superiority when Roczen does well, in fact it is already starting right here based on some practice lap times. Ridiculous.
For me it is a lot like listening to Yankees (baseball) fans talk about their team. It makes you just hope the team bites so they'll shut up. I don't hate Derek Jeter, but man do I want to see him strikeout. Maybe there is a soccer team that is like that in GBR? Maybe you could relate? It isn't about Roczen at all or the kind of person he is, it is about certain people vocalizing their new found "superiority" of something that they had no contribution to making happen. These people can't vocalize when they have nothing to be vocal about. Fairly simple.
Let's hope Barcia,Wilson & Bagget also are also riding the West.
I thoroughly enjoyed the lierop gp this year- thought 50 euro's for both days was pretty reasonable. I think its much better value than a football match (soccer for all you yanks) I do think they should let you pay for 1 day only at gp's though (say 15 euros for qualifying day and 35 for race day) as when i go to the valkenswaard gp next year ill only be going on race day (i'll be riding at a practice track on qualifying day)
We would have done that this year for the lierop gp but unfortunately i broke my leg 3 days before we went over so i had to watch from the side of the track in a wheelchair!
Occasionally we get a rider who we can really shout about - Pourcel, Cairoli, Musquin/Roczen etc, so we're going to voice our support for them. Some people go over the top I agree, but generally we're quite a diplomatic bunch, but diplomacy doesn't convey very well on an internet forum because someone can misinterpret even the most irrelevant comment.
I just don't want your opinion to be swayed by people having a discussion about him (or any other European rider for that matter) on here. We're not saying he WILL achieve great success, but that as a mere 16 year old he has the potential. Remember what it was like for you guys when Villopoto was killing it at 16?
Its amazing what he's acheived so far (still only 16 years old) - i just hope he stays fit through the supercross season so we can all see him in gp's fighting for the world championship. He is definitely the most exciting talent I have ever seen (although herlings is not far off- and will be another one to watch out for in 2012 if he decides to do any supercross!)
I can't understand the resentment for GP fans wanting to see GP riders do well when they race in the states (or the attitude towards non american riders eg. the fans booing pourcel and telling him to go back to his own country etc)
you should be glad that you are getting some of the top riders in the world wanting to race in america- most fans in the states dont go to watch any gps so if the gp riders didnt race in america then you would never get to see roczen, musquin, pourcel, DV, tortelli, Reed (who is australian but came from gps originally) metcalfe, mcfarlane (RIP), rattray, cairoli (meant to be doing some supercross this year), de-reuver, desalle (JMB!) etc
