PEICK REMAINS WITH TEAM
W
eston Peick has at least another year racing
as a member of the Autotrader/Yoshimura/
Suzuki Factory Racing Team. Peick and the team
extended his contract through the 2019 season.
"I'm excited to continue this partnership," said
Peick. "The team has been like a family to me
ever since the first day I signed with them. Being
able to surround myself with such a great group of
professionals has been an awesome experience.
I'm looking forward to improving my results next
year and having another season on the Suzuki
RM-Z450. Development has gone very well, and
we will be ahead of the game heading into the
Anaheim Supercross opener."
Team manager Jeremy Albrecht said, "Weston
has been great for us. He is a team player, and
also very tough. I appreciate that he rode through
the pain of an injured hand this year and gave
it his all. He produced good results when other
riders in that same situation probably would have
thrown in the towel. Weston also really gels well
with the Suzuki RM-Z450. There's great synergy
with that pairing." CN
