The List: Silly Season Tracker

Notes: Roczen joins RCH/Soaring Eagle Suzuki following four years (in America) with KTM. Roczen began his career in the FIM World Motocross Championship with Suzuki. Check out a first look of Roczen back with yellow. There could be a teammate for Roczen (and we’d expect Broc Tickle to be the first option) but they’re still buttoning up sponsorship deals before making that official.

Notes: After five years with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Dean Wilson is headed to Red Bull KTM to join Ryan Dungey. KTM announced they have signed Wilson for two years. “Dean is a very talented rider who has shown a lot of potential on a 450,” commented Red Bull KTM Factory Team Manager Roger DeCoster. Wilson added: "This is an amazing opportunity for me to learn from Roger and Ian and the rest of the crew."

Notes: Justin Brayton will move over from Toyota/JGR Yamaha to join the returning Andrew Short, the team announced today. Brayton will make his debut with the team at Red Bull Straight Rhythm.

Notes: Jason Anderson re-signed with the team earlier this year. But they’re switching from KTMs to Huskys (and KTM owns Husky, so that’s not as crazy as it sounds).

Notes: After spending his entire pro career with Honda (GEICO and American), Barcia has signed with JGR. “There was a ton of options for me. I had a lot of meetings and met a lot of great people, so that was pretty cool. But I leaned towards JGR. It just went really good when I had some talks with Jeremy Albrecht and Coy and also Joe Gibbs, the coach,” Barcia told Racer X. Peick, who spent years as a privateer, will have his first full season under a factory rig. He spent the summer with RCH/Soaring Eagle Suzuki. 

Notes: Kawasaki announced today that they have signed Davi Millsaps and Wil Hahn to replace Ryan Villopoto (who is going to the GPs) and Jake Weimer. “We have big shoes to fill after winning four straight supercross titles, but I could not be more excited to have both Davi and Wil on the team,” Dan Fahie, Monster Energy Kawasaki team manager, said in a press release. Millsaps will debut at the Monster Energy Cup.

Notes: Along with revealing the Millsaps and Hahn signings, Kawasaki also announced they will continue their partnership with Discount Tire/TwoTwo Motorsports. Josh Grant has signed with the team, giving Chad Reed a teammate for the first time since becoming an owner in 2011. “Having TwoTwo Motorsports choose Kawasaki is important to us as well. Chad is a proven champion and knows he needs good equipment in order to be competitive and win,” Reid Nordin, Senior Manager of Racing, said in a press release. 

Notes: Mike Alessi will be back with SmarTop/MotoConcepts in 2015 and will race "AMA Supercross season, AMA Pro Motocross, Canadian Motocross, and a very strong interest for a World GP partnership," according to a recent press release. The team has also come to terms with Vince Friese. He will race the 450 on the West Coast and a 250 on the East Coast.

250 Class

Notes: Kawasaki was busy today, as they also announced the 2015 Monster Energy/Pro Circuit squad. The team will feature four new additions. Adam Cianciarulo is the only returning member. “We have a fresh crop of riders for the new season, all of which have a lot of potential,” Mitch Payton, Pro Circuit owner, said in a press release. 

Notes: Justin Bogle and Matt Bisceglia return to the team to join recent amateur grads RJ Hampshire and Jordon Smith.  

Notes: The 250 squad for Rockstar Energy Racing is all-new in 2015. Martin Davalos returns to the team (he rode for Bobby Hewitt’s squad in 2012) and will be joined by the 2014 GEICO Honda duo of Zach Osborne and Zach Bell.
