At a team meeting this morning in KTM's Temecula, CA, headquarters,
Larry Brooks gave his two weeks' notice. Brooks is one of the most
determined and passionate team managers in the business and was
previously at the helm of the Chaparral Yamaha race team, where he won
a championship with Jeremy McGrath.
Said Brooks, "I called a team meeting this morning and let everyone
know that after the supercross season, I will be leaving the team. I
just had a difference of opinion about some issues with the management
in Austria, and I will be looking at other options."
While Brooks kept his comments brief, the widespread speculation is
that he will be managing Chad Reed's new team, with Reed and Nathan
Ramsey as the riders.
We'll keep you posted as more develops.
