JGRMX/Suzuki Announces 250 Supercross And MX Team: JGRMX announced that it will for the first time field a 250 team in both supercross and motocross in 2017.
The team will continue the services of Phil Nicoletti who will focus on the 250SX class in supercross but will move up to the 450MX class, joining teammates Justin Barcia and Weston Peick, when motocross starts in May.

New to the team is Matt Bisceglia. He will compete in the 250 class in both supercross and motocross.
“The launch of JGRMX Suzuki has been very exciting for Suzuki, and with Justin Barcia’s podium performance in his debut race at Bercy-Lille on the RM-Z450 last weekend, anticipation is high for the start of the Supercross season” said Kerry Graeber, Vice President, MC/ATV Sales and Marketing for SMAI. “Suzuki is focused on re-energizing its 250 class platform, and the addition of a strong effort between JGRMX and Suzuki, with assistance from Yoshimura R&D, will allow us to compete for championships in the near future.”
“We are looking forward to having a 250 effort this year as part of our team,” said JGRMX Team Owner Coy Gibbs. “This is the perfect opportunity for riders who feel they have some unfinished business in the class like Phil and other riders like Matt who are looking for a stepping stone into the 450 ranks in the coming years.”
