not that the AMA series isn't a mess.. but Yosh Suzuki is the most dedicated to the series team there's been.  and for many years, that paid off handsomely... so you have to believe they believe they can and should still be doing that.  however last year the "second best rider" got his ass handed to him every weekend*.  you don't get re-hired in that situation.


*ironically, hayes thoroughly mladin'd him.  i don't think blake was ever in the race last year at all.  josh ruined him.



as for attack, eh.  apparently stanboli has money to throw at stuff.

from the Not The Least Bit Surprising dept., cardenas got the yosh ride.

probably paying him less too

eh.. all conjecture but supposedly he had a wsbk ride lined up.  if that's true, yosh probably made it worth his while to stay.
