Wish him a safe season, but can't figure out how he continues to get rides. His 10 minutes passed 3 years ago.

How did Rockstar go from sponsoring the Factory Suzuki Team to sponsoring the Valli Yamaha Team? I thought they would be with Suzuki again this year. Does this have anything to do with Yoshimira taking over?

Looks pretty chubby for getting back in shape like he says. I would expect to see him right outside the top 10 this year.

Just watched the spy camera vid of Musquin. Izzi doesn't look near as comfortable on the track or near as fast for that matter. But best wishes for the season, hope he stays healthy.

I think injuries crushed Izzi's confidence plus the pressure of coming back too early each time to make sponsors happy. Even jacked up he'd scare the top guys for a few laps before the inevitable implosion.
If he truly is healthy then top 10s are realistic.

We all wish we could ride like these guys, that is why we watch them......But since we cant, we are the judge and jury instead. hahahaha.... I remember hearing about Izzi coming up through the amatuers...he has some talent obviously but seems to be to distracted by trying to look and be cool off the track...

There was chatter a while back of Rockstar jumping over to support Two Two....but then Chad was knocking on Stewarts door for him to come ride for Two Two....so maybe the Red Bull / JS7 realtionship squalled that endeavor and they moved on ....

I think the Rockstar thing has to do with the Mulitia sponsorship. Plus suzuki will have one bike on the track, these guys like 6 or something, so much more exposure for probably less money. And I think rockstar may still sponsor the Suzuki 250 team, just not the 450 team...but I could be wrong on that.
