Anyone here no anything about the future of the rockstar/makita title sponsorship deal with factory Suzuki? I'm not sure, I thought someone said they were losing their title sponsor next year?

As far as I know it's all the same (Rockstar/Makita), with Yoshimura running the team (like they've done with road racing and quads).

Makes sense since Suzuki doesn't have a road racing team anymore.

YOSHIMURA will be the head of the team or at least be running the previous "factory" suzuki effort. Don't know what Makita or Rockstar's role will be but Yosh is running the team for 2010

Title Sponsor: Rockstar

Team Manager: Roger DeCoster

Team "Ownership": Yoshimura R & D , U.S.A.

Riders: Dungey, Stroupe, Moss (And another, maybe?)

Then there's the New for 2009...

Support Team: Team Rockstar Energy

(Bill Keefe-BK Motosport)

Riders: Hahn, Morais, Baggett...and...another...brother?

As to the statement: "Makes sense since Suzuki doesn't have a road racing team anymore"...Suzuki has THE TEAM in U.S. Superbike Racing: It jus' happens to be operated by Yoshimura.
