That'd be crazy! I don't see how you can go from running a pretty good team in the AMA to running a Motogp bike, that seems like two very different levels, but I could easily see them in WSBK, alongside EBR.

2 American teams? That's a step in the right direction.

Very difficult to say. All 38 employees were let go last Friday. Two of them are friends of mine. Right now not even they know where they are leaning or if there jobs will return to some of them

I saw that, I really hope they bounce back quickly, that really sucks that everyone is out of a job now too.

I saw a feature video on Suter and I think if MJM hooks up with a chassis "management" company like that or runs with one of the customer Honda/Yamahas the transition to Moto2/MotoGP could be relatively painless. I think it'll depend more on what kind of talent they can get on the saddle at the end of the day. WSBK or MotoGP/2 would be great presence and don't forget what kind of endorsement money just dropping the name Michael Jordan can bring.

Either way it's great and with a name like Michael Jordan supporting two wheeled racing on the world scale, I'm hoping it'll draw more interest into the sport domestically.
