From Racer X:
The biggest news of the week may involve Team Suzuki. The word on the streets is that the owner of the #1 plate in AMA Motocross (both classes), the Lites West Supercross Championship, #1 in AMA Superbike, and #1 ATV Pro Motocross is outsourcing its entire racing program to its longtime allies at Yoshimura. The setup would be similar to what we see with Pro Circuit Kawasaki and Factory Connection Honda, though this would encompass all of the company’s racing programs, meaning Suzuki would take on the role of equipment supplier to the outsourced racing program. The irony is, it comes after Suzuki had one of its best years ever on the AMA circuit. But the economy is still the elephant in the room.
