ROAD RACER SEAN DYLAN KELLY
M4 Ecstar Suzuki Team Man-
ager Chris Ulrich is excited about
having Kelly on the squad. He
told us a little bit about how the
squad came to sign him.
"He finished up with Red Bull
Rookies and didn't really have
that much going on," Ulrich said.
"So his options were trying to go
after Spanish Moto2 or Moto3
in the CEV before he got to the
world championship. Really at
that point, you're going to need
somewhere between two hun-
dred and three hundred thou-
sand euros. Really that's hard to
find these days, whether you're
an established team or not. He
did have some opportunities, but
we got him working with Rober-
tino Pietri, who's a friend of mine
and former teammate. He works
with Sean pretty closely down
there in Miami.
