They raced with the Rockstar team when they were here. The same team that gets zero support from Suzuki in the states? I understand they are both Rockstar teams, but I would think they be with the Factory team. Did Suzuki provide the bikes? Were they factory? It doesn't make sense to me...I know I am a Vitard so please explain this to me

So in that case the bikes would not have been 'factory' in the strictest sense of the word, but obviously on the same level. Ken De Dycker was on a factory supported yamaha team a few years back and came over to race Hangtown on a stock YZ450f, so it's not that strange...
They said they used the Rockstar bikes with their suspension and not the factory suzuki. Their GP bike went straight back to Europe I believe.

Bottom line is, if they wanted to ride, I think they could - but they didn`t. But please correct me if I`m wrong
Pit Row
In the first place Rockstar was thinking about Strijbos as replacement rider for Millsaps, but that didn't happened. At the end the best solution was this.
Strijbos already said that his weekend are all booked with races till the end of the season, but Desalle his case is a bit different he isn't riding any Belgian Championship races or stuff like that so maybe he can schedule one national race in.
