Anyone else notice in the press release where it stated the team will field two 450 riders and two 250 riders? It'll be neat to see how JGR does developing the 250 as well.

Edit:
Dang. beaten to it by a minute.

I wonder is they will sign a high profile 250 rider ? Matty B or Bowers maybe ?

Pulling for Matty B for sure. Would be cool if they could get both of them though

The change of scenery should be good for the team. Any word on possible riders for the 250 slots?

Very cool. Looking forward to this change. JGR will produce one heck of an RMZ I'm sure.

Suzuki and Yoshi go hand-in-hand I know but anyone notice the picture of Barcia's bike with the Yosh exhaust? This end a very long-term relationship between JGR and FMF...interesting.

He probably makes more money now than he would if he was at a smaller team full time. He'll probably get to ride outdoors full time like this past year. I'm sure he's happy or he'd leave.

I thought I just read somewhere that he's still on the team, probably on IG.

I would guess he has the same fill-in/test ride.

Excited to see what JGR change on this seasons bike or do you think they will keep it reasonbly sensible and go the normal JGR full whack on the rumoured redeveloped RMZ.

So am I right in thinking the only factory backed Yamahas in the 450 class will be Webb and Reed ?

The announcement states Phil is fill-in for 450 SX and full time for 450 MX.

It would be great if rch also had 2 250. Each team could alternate sx coasts for the 250 part of the squad.
