The start of the 2016 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship is just around the corner and many of the teams—factory and private—are pretty much settled, so we’ve compiled a rundown of some of the teams that plan to follow the 2016 series. Many of them are finalized, but there is still some scrambling going on. For example, Chad Reed has yet finalized his plans for 2016 but it looks like he will be on a Yamaha no matter what. A factory-backed Yamaha? That seems to be the question at the moment. For now, we’ll just list Reed as riding a Yamaha.
There are a few higher profile riders who are still seeking a ride, like former factory Kawasaki and JGRMX Yamaha rider Josh Grant, who recently purchased a Suzuki and has been doing laps on it at many of the local SoCal tracks. If the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team decides to hire a fill-in rider while Blake Baggett mends from his recent injuries, Grant might be the right guy for the job. We’ll see what happens there over the next couple weeks.
Our list includes many of the 250-class riders, but which series they will follow—east or west—is usually kept a secret until A1.
Anyway, here is our list, which could change at anytime (or might have already), so we’ll try to update it en route to January 9.
Also included at the bottom is the 2016 rider numbers for Supercross and schedule.
