JGRMX SWITCHES TO SUZUKI
F
or the first time since its
formation in 2008, the North
Carolina-based JGRMX Team
will compete on motorcycles
other than Yamaha. The JGRMX
Team and Suzuki announced a
new formation that will see all of
its riders on Suzuki motorcycles.
The new JGRMX Suzuki Team
will compete in both the 250
and 450 classes.
The JGRMX Suzuki team, led
by team owner Coy Gibbs, will
feature two full-time riders in the
450 class aboard Suzuki RM-
Z450s and two riders in the 250
class aboard Suzuki RM-Z250s.
Justin Barcia and Weston Peick
will return with the team on the
RM-Z450, and Phillip Nicoletti
will race the entire motocross
season and will substitute if
needed during supercross. The
250 class riders will be an-
nounced in the near future.
"Having the support of Suzu-
ki, and racing the championship-
winning RM-Z450 really sets us
up for an exciting year of rac-
ing," said Gibbs. "We have great
confidence in our riders and
we're thrilled we can provide
them with RM-Z450s to race.
We have discussed fielding a
250 effort for several years; our
entire team is pumped about
this strategic partnership that
includes both the RM-Z450s
and RM-Z250s with Suzuki and
we're looking for great things."
