Rockstar Makita Suzuki Proudly Welcomes Mike Webb as Team Manager 3


Brea,
Calif
, – October 3, 2010 – Rockstar Makita Suzuki is proud to announce
off-road racing legend Mike Webb will be leading the championship
efforts as Team Manager for both the AMA Supercross and AMA Pro
Motocross series in 2011. Webb has been a staple in off-road racing for
nearly three decades and is currently at the helm of the 2010 GNCC
off-road team as they take the Suzuki fuel-injected RM-Z450 to the
championship in that series. In his storied history, Webb has helped
Suzuki earn countless championships in off-road racing and has been the
Team Manager for the GNCC bike efforts since 1992.


"I'm really excited for this opportunity to help defend the AMA
Supercross and Motocross titles that Ryan Dungey so masterfully won
this year," Webb said. "I'm thrilled to be working with the team and
Yoshimura, as we're all fully committed to keeping that number one
plate on the RM-Z450. I think 2011 is going to be a great season for
us, for Suzuki, and for the RM-Z450."


To help spur the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team to another
championship-winning year in 2011, Webb has also secured the efforts of
Ricky Carmichael as team adviser. Carmichael has a long history with
Suzuki, as well, and is considered the greatest racers of all time in
the Supercross and Motocross world. Ricky will be helping the current
Rockstar Makita Suzuki racers to prepare fully for competition, and
advising them on bike setup, race strategy, and overall training
approaches.


"Ricky is an undisputable champion," Webb said. "I can't think of a
better guy to help the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team to another winning
season, and I know the racers will all benefit from having him on our
side."


With Webb and Carmichael at the helm of the Rockstar Makita Suzuki
Supercross and Motocross team, Suzuki is looking forward to another
phenomenal year at the races with their winning RM-Z450 in 2011.
