I had heard it mentioned, but hadn't seen it stamped. Congratulations to Peick for earning one of the elite seats.

Didn't Peick body check Barcia at a supercross race this year? Should be interesting OR if Peick is a team player he could act also as a body guard for Justin "I whip it in your face" Barcia.

Good for him, Im glad to see he got the ride that he deserves but I was really hoping he was going to stay on the Suzuki.

Didn't he and Barcia have a run in during the SX season this year?

Either way, solid move for JGR. I dont see him placing any higher but a solid top 5-10 guy is worth the money.

And im glad to see Weston getting another well deserved ride.

Safest place to be is on barcias team being that maybe he wont be himself toward a teamate. Good move for wp. He will get good starts for his size and he normally goes forward vs going back. Solid mid top 10ish or +1 or 2 spots vs his current avaerage with the better starts.

Good for him! I hope he kills it next year, and make the other teams that passed him up regret it. Awesome to hear!

Hahaha he's parked canard plenty last two years.

Yes they did get into it this year, can't remember what race, pretty sure barcia stuffed him last couple turns for transfer (surprisingly not over aggressive move for once from him) spot and then after race was done Weston kind of ran into him and gave him a shoulder and an elbow, lol.

Really happy for Weston and Lou. When Weston rode the older Yamaha a few times I thought he looked good on it. Team JGR is top notch and they dig guys that are willing to put in the work. I think Weston will fit in great there.

So if Brayton is going to BTO.....where does that leave Josh Grant? I read a rumor on here that possibly talks with Reed and team 22 ? I think Josh showed a lot of improvement this year and at times.....he freakin' hauled ass. One of the best styles in the business to. Shame to not see him stay at JGR.....always thought he was a good fit there.

I think its interesting that they announced Peick but not Barcia, is that because Barcia's Honda contract actually hasnt ended yet?

Excited to see this team in action next year. While not two of my favorite riders they are on my "homer" brand. It's an obvious upgrade of talent for JGR however with good health (the big if) the overall top 10 is going to be brutal in 2015. Fans win!

WP40 should be a solid rider at JGR. Have heard he is good at testing and bike set up which is always a plus.

lol holeshots are only due to HP? not suspension setup getting power to the ground, or rider position, or rider clutch control, or rider reaction times to the gate dropping ?

I think he holeshot you with his humor.Wink

Glad to see a hard working privateer get some good opportunities. Hope he can stay injury free and make the most of it.
