Not sure if it has allready been discussed, but it was news to me: According to mxvice Suzuki offered Jeremy Seewer to move to the US and join JGR after Suzuki decided to ditch the factory GP team.
Some other interesting stuff in the interview:
- Seewer was not interested in a move to the US since he feels the Suzuki 250 isn't up to par to other bikes
- He had the option to run a private team with Suzuki in GP's but saw that as a last resort
- With all the negativity surrounding MXGP it appears that Yamaha actually upped their investment since they pay for Seewers ride
- He did not look into options of a privateer team with Everts

He took the higher road, but his opinion must sting for Suzuki. I have no doubt he is right in every aspect. He always came from behind and had to work extremely hard to pass orange or white bikes on the straights.
But it would've been cool to see him in US racing.

It wasn't the first time I had heard that from him. I interviewed him at the last MXGP round and he kind of implied the same sort of stuff.
Man I wonder what Seewer could’ve accomplish on a factory KTM...
He made a lot of mistakes that were his fault, no doubt.
But it's almost like he had to come from the back pack more often than not.
He was faster than Jonass most season but Jonass just had a very solid season
Pit Row
He clearly didn't want anything to do with a RMZ 250.
I'm very anxious to find out what JGR/Yoshimura can do with the bikes within the production rules when the GP team with no rules at all couldn't make it on par with the faster bikes.
