He is hungry and wants to show everyone he is not just a Supercross rider. Bobby Kiniry is the veteran of the team and we hope he will be able to show what heart and detrmination are all about. As for Jessica Patterson, we have already won three national titles together and are certainly looking to add another!”
Brown went on to say team will also be offering limited support to Gareth Swanepoel (South Africa) on a race-by-race basis. “As a former outdoor moto winner we are happy he (Swanepoel) is running our graphics on his own program,” said Brown. “By racing and being prepared, should an opportunity arise, he could quickly and easily step into that role. We’re looking forward to a successful season not only for Nicoletti, Blose, Kiniry and Patterson, but also for Swanepoel.”
