“i’m excited to give support to a rider already on suzuki,” said jeremy albrecht, team manager. “geoff walker who owns the sr75 team has been great to us over the years and has a rider that just won a championship. i met charles last year and liked his work ethic. he has already been very appreciative in the last few days since arriving in the u.s. i feel like it’s a reward for winning the championship. charles will race the next five rounds starting this weekend in daytona.”
