New Suzuki Contracts – Win Races, Write Blogs

Thursday, February 04, 2010
Roger DeCoster signed Ryan Dungey when Dungey was still an Intermediate rider in the Amateur ranks.
Roger: "Look, Rookie, get back in that motorhome and write your blog. What do you think I'm paying you for?"

Ryan: "But, Rog..."
Suzuki is taking an extra step to give ‘Zook fans an inside look at racing operations. A new series of blogs will stream out of the factory semi trucks with entries from riders, team managers, technical experts and sponsors from MotoGP, World SuperbikeWorld MX1 and Supercross. You can find them on www.suzuki-racing.com where you can also participate in a new monthly giveaway with Suzuki Racing and sponsorship swag.

Here’s the first entry from Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 Supercross racer, Ryan Dungey:

So far, the 2010 season on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team has been really great. I put in a lot of hard work in the off-season, but the start of the AMA Supercross has been better than I could’ve imagined. 

Roger DeCoster always tells me the only thing that matters is the last race, so I’m really focusing on keeping healthy and racing smart. I’m just going to try to carry the momentum and remember it’s one race at a time, and also to have fun, enjoy it, and let the rest come. The season is a long one, 17 races, and there’s a lot of racing left to do.

Winning the first race of my 450 career in Phoenix, Arizona, was great and following up that win with another one in Anaheim 2 was like icing on the cake. The setup on my Suzuki RM-Z450 is really good, and all the guys on the team are really working hard to make sure it’s in great shape.

The fuel injection on the bike is really good, and right off the starts I have instant power. There’s no bog, and it just launches out of the gate. No one knows how the rest of the season is going to go, but I hope that I can continue to do well and put the team and the bike on the podium.

Before I sign off, I want to thank my fans, my sponsors, and my family for supporting me. I couldn’t do this without help from a lot of great people, so thanks!
