SUZUKI THANKS ROGER DECOSTER FOR 15 YEARS OF RACING TOGETHER

[vmx42]

they asked me if l was interested in managing the Suzuki Team, and l declined

It's for the best Dave, they would have been pissed when you dropped them a couple of weeks later for team Yamaha, and then team Honda, and then...

Team GMC!!!

  The move to KTM   may also include Chad  Reed back with Roger  !!!

Cool Chad the best MXer in the world together with Roger the best former racer manager, the dream team back on Orange.

I was also a little amused that they only credited Roger in the article with 15 years of racing with Suzuki. Maybe he had the wrong sponsors back in those days.

this is where Chad has the moves.... he is is pretty fierce business man and knows what makes money in this modern environment. Like staging your own Supercross series and winning most of the prize money back

I vote Evil Rudy for Rogers vacant position!
Seriously, what a dumb arse move by the Japs!!

Chad Reeds, supercross series was a stunt here in Australia, just to make him look good and to show up the rest of the field.

Are you serious?
If the contesting riders arn't up to it then they are simply not good enough. I went to a few events and it wasn't all Chad's way.
Good to see that the Tall Poppy Syndrome is alive and well!

speculation - he moves to Germany, paid for by Ralf Waldmann.
Roger & Chad putting the fire back into MZ  with 600cc dirt-bikes!

Rog told me that he has planted a row of carrots at his farm and he was spending a lot of time in the garden watching their growth   

well, y'know....
he did get his butt spanked by that Yamaha mounted Mikkola guy..
if you can't beat em,
join em...
it's shallots next apparently

From where I see it Chad was a lot like Leisky when he came back home and trounced all comers of the day in the supercross series-won by miles.
Now since Chad has split with Thor-how about he picks up the defunct Rat Racing logo and brings it back to it's hey-day. Go The Rat-Rat!!!

Ah, how times have changed...  we used to import international riders for Supercross races to give our local guys something to shoot for.  Now we import our OWN riders back from overseas to give our local guys something to shoot for.. 

I know one thing for sure, people like Geoff Eldridge would love the state of affairs that is USA MX and Enduro now, with so many Aussies in the hunt for top honours.

We certainly should be proud that Chad does come back to exhibit his considerble skills and hopefully pass some on to our younger up and coming riders...

...not slag him off.

dave could be manager and on sell bikes between races. Suzukis partner VW will sponsor Roger - watch out for the flying Belgin at bathurst in a Kombi !!!

[vandy010]

just before this gets too far out of hand with Dave selling bikes and Rodger growing carrots etc,
for whatever his reason may be, the guy has an amazing record of success as both a racer and a manager. here's hoping his next move is one that he's happy with and all the best for him.
KTM and Everts in the states sounds interesting though.
how real is that proposal i wonder?

I heard an interview with him last night, he says Suzuki only wanted to resign him as a manager for 1 year, he wanted more, so they went their seperate ways.
KTM has made him an offer(amongst others), but want a response by the weeks end , but he says it is the best and most resonable offer so far.
Reedy was thrown in the mix as well.

All truth aside, Roger de coster to be born with a name like that, their would be nothing else in this world that you would stand for, other than World Champion, Roger de coster spelt backwards means world champion.
