Peick, the long-time privateer, is coming off a career year in his first full season with JGR, finishing tenth overall in Monster Energy Supercross, despite missing three rounds. The California native garnered his first career podium in Santa Clara. He also podiumed at the season finale in Las Vegas.

“Weston has been a fantastic addition to our program, he is enjoying his success and he just seems to keep improving. We are thrilled to have reached an agreement to have him with us through the 2016 racing season,” said team owner Coy Gibbs.

“I have really clicked with the Yamaha YZ450F and the guys at both Yamaha and JGR. All of my hard work is really paying off and I’m stoked to know that we will be working together through next year,” added Peick.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Nail on the head. Weston earned it the hard way...he rode his tail off climbing the ladder until he made a name for himself. He wasn't signed right out of the amatuer ranks or basically "gifted" a factory ride. I think he's the kind of guy that won't let the factory-rider deal to go to his head. He'll ride hard for JGR or whoever signs him in the future because he really appreciates where he's at.

I can't imagine Coy using the word thrilled in any other way except sarcasm.

I tend to believe that most the top pros earned their rides the hard way. Even if it was at a young age. No one is gifted a factory ride, they rode hard and got good results.
