Do you Cats think Suzuki will bring Malcolm over once James starts to wind down?, he'll have plenty of experience by that time if he sticks with it...

Would be cool to see him under the Suzuki Factory tent on a 450 outdoors eventually.

You think he gets to ride James' bike at home?...

I'd bet money on it. Maybe not much...but it's probably happened. I think it would be awesome to see Mookie under the Yosh Suzuki tent when James decides to wind down his career. Until then...TLD seems to have been a good fit for him.

I'd bet he's spun a few laps on it. Wink

I don't know many/any teams that play favorites to family members of current riders. If they pick up Malcolm, I think it'll be because he's the best available within their budget, just as they pick any other riders.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing loyalty in the sport. I think Honda has killed it with their loyalty towards Windham, Hahn, Canard etc. . . JGR has done somewhat the same with Brayton and Grant. But has there been a set of brothers that have ridden for the same team? Did Tommy ride for factory Honda?

One year when he was pretty young - kind of a one-shot-deal on a CRF250.

The Jones brothers come to mind as team riders, my main point is that Malcolm is probably around a lot during those rides/testing...
