“I feel with the kind of support that Makita Suzuki can provide, David will excel,” said Makita Suzuki Team Manager Roger DeCoster. “He’s known to be a good test rider and I think he will be very helpful with the brand-new RM-Z450 we will be racing. I believe this relationship will turn out to be very positive for everyone. Also, I’d like to thank Mark Kvamme of MDK Motorsports for supporting David in his decision to sign with Makita Suzuki.”

“We are very disappointed that things didn’t work out with Ivan,” said DeCoster. “He is a very talented rider and rode very well in his first season with Makita Suzuki, finishing fourth overall in 2006. He also looked very good in testing before the first World Supercross rounds in Canada before he was injured. We’re just sorry that things turned out as they did and we wish Ivan all the best.”
