Guys.....over on SX.com , I came across a big write up of the Joe Gibbs racing team.....and it's impressive to say the least. They have the new 450 Yami's looking sweet , and both Brayton and Millsaps look like they are both going to be ready for A1.

Honestly.....I don't think a factory team like Honda , Suzuki or anyone else.....has anything on these guys. That's about as professional as a team as you can get.

My favorite team! I sure wish they had kept Josh Grant though. :/

I would be interested in seeing a 250f team in the future from them, it would be nice to see them develop talent and move them up as they are ready.

i give the factorys 5 more years to be out of the mx/sx team running business and turn those factory rides into teams supported by the factories!

I always think that business is about getting the little things right and those JGR guys seem like they leave no stone left unturned.

I really like those bikes. Milsaps is a rider that at any moment it seems like he could take it to the next level.

Anyone else notice they have switched to Pirelli hoops? Very interesting as Pirelli hasn't been part of a 'major' team in the US for quite some time (I think Larocco tried them at Factory connection in the 90's maybe??)

Good tyres and very big in Europe with more World titles than any other tyre I believe. I have noticed they have made big inroads on the Aussie scene in the past couple of years and maybe are trying to do the same in the US again. I say good luck to them I hope they have success.

Also how many teams have "Education Provider" in their bio?

Very, very impressive JGR. Good luck to the team in 2011.

Sorry midpack I must have been typing away while you posted. I went for a drink in the middle of my post so it took a while...

I disagree. Milsaps is not the answer . His next level chances are gone. The kid pissed them away at Honda. Sad but true! Milssaps could of been special but he is just a hanger on at this point.

IMO, There are three guys that can win right now. Stewart,Dungey and RV. If a team like JGR wants a #1 plate getting one of these guys on there bike is the only way that it might happen. Milsaps, No so much.

I agree with you 100% except I would throw CR in there just because of his ability to be consistent. I don't think he will win much if at all but being consistent will play a bigger role this year than ever. Coming from behind because of a bad start or dirt sample will not be as easy this year as years past. Way too much talent out there. I look for Canard and maybe Windham and Grant to throw a great finish in here and there too. I think Dungey is going to be disappointing compared to what he did last year. I see him struggling to get wins. Think about getting a bad start and having to pass... JS, RV, RD, CR, TC, KW, JW, DM, BM, JG and others. It should be insane.

Yeah, but how many of those guys will be injured before A1 even gets here?

I think JG could be a wild card. He struggles with consistency though. Hope he gets it sorted out this season.
