IN THE WIND P50 JGRMX ANNOUNCES 250 TEAM AND THE SIGNING OF MATT BISCEGLIA F or the first time, JGRMX will field a team in motocross and supercross in the 250 class. The team already said that it's retaining the services of Justin Barcia and Westin Peick on 450s (and on Suzukis), but now has signed two riders for the 250 class. One of those riders is Phil Nico- letti, who has been on the JGRMX staff as a full-time back-up rider but will now compete full-time in the 250 class in supercross. He will, however, move up to the 450 class when the outdoor nationals start up in May. The team has also signed new rider Matt Bisceglia to compete in the 250 class in both supercross and motocross. Like with their 450-class riders, both Nicoletti and Bisceglia will ride Suzuki motorcycles. Kerry Graeber, Vice President, MC/ATV Sales and Marketing for Suzuki, said, "Suzuki is focused on re-energizing its 250 class platform, and the addition of a strong effort between JGRMX and Suzuki, with assistance from Yoshimura R&D, will allow us to compete for championships in the near future." CN Matt Bisceglia has found a new home at JGRMX.
