In that same vein is an interview with another Supercross star, Chad Reed. The Australian will be on the Monster Energy Kawasaki team in 2010 with teammate Ryan Villopoto. Reed has been on fire recently, taking the Australian Supercross championship and winning the AMA Outdoor Nationals title. It is shaping up to be a good year for Reed, so Stewart needs to look out!

Suzuki Announces Their 2010 AMA Supercross Racing Team

That's what it says, so I am going with it. Suzuki's team will be managed by Roger DeCoster and will consist of Ryan Dungey and the new Australian Supercross Champion, Matt Moss - both will be in the 450c.c. class. Austin Stroupe will race in the Lites class for them - no more details on that at this time. But, as you know, the team will be working much more closely with Yoshimura in 2010.

Chad Reed Signs With Kawasaki for AMA Motocross and Supercross

There were rumors that he was thinking of the signing - especially when he rode a Kawasaki in the Australian Super X series. Well, now Reed will be riding alongside Ryan Villopoto on the Monster Energy Kawasaki team in both the AMA Motocross Championship and the AMA Supercross Championship. This should really shake things up when he goes up against James Stewart and the new Yamaha YZ450F - either way, both series are sure to be very good racing!
