250 Words: 2015 Team Guide

Notes: Justin Brayton will move over from Toyota/JGR Yamaha to join the returning Andrew Short.

Notes: Jason Anderson re-signed with the team earlier this year. The team is switching brands for the third time in as many years—from Suzuki to KTM to Husky (but KTM owns Husky, so that’s not as crazy as it sounds). Much of Anderson's bike is built by the KTM Factory Services wing (again they own Husky and the basic bikes are similar), so he has top-level equipment. This team also runs a 250 operation (see below).

Notes: After spending his entire pro career with Honda (GEICO and American), Barcia has signed with Toyota/JGR Yamaha. 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. Phil Nicoletti is returning to the team for all twelve rounds of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.

Notes: Ben LaMay returns for another year with the team. This team also runs a 250 operation (see below).

Notes: Killy Rusk will race the 450 Class for the new team. This team also runs a 250 operation (see below).

Notes: Kawasaki signed Davi Millsaps and Wil Hahn to replace Ryan Villopoto (who is going to the GPs) and Jake Weimer.

Notes: Kawasaki 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.

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 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.

Notes: The popular Wey will continue to forge his own, ahem, way, with his own team in 2015.

Notes: After four years with Monster Energy Kawasaki, Jake Weimer will spend 2015 with Team Tedder/Monster Energy Racing. The team also has a 250 operation (see below).

Notes: Albertson, who spent 2014 with Crossland Racing, has a new deal with a new team: Arma Energy/MotoSport.com Yamaha. The team also has a 250 squad (see below).

Notes: After spending the off-season traveling the globe on a Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki 450, Hill has been reunited with Yamaha, the brand he rode throughout his amateur career and early in his pro career.

Notes: Archer will contest the 450SX Class for the team, which also has a 250 rider (see below).

Notes: Team 3BR, a small family run team who helped Tevin Tapia a season ago, will expand and bring on Nick Schmidt and Jake Scarbrough for 2015.

Notes: DirtCandyGraphics/PRBC.com returns for its second year and will bring back both members, Lind and Stewart, for 2015. Metcalfe has signed with the team and will race at least the first six rounds. Oddly, he'll be on a Suzuki with this team but then switch back to a Kawasaki for the Canadian Nationals this summer.

Notes: Same riders returning to this team for 2015. Partridge tore his ACL last year but was fast in his return to action at Red Bull Straight Rhythm.

Notes: Clason returns to the team for his second year. The 250 will also feature a 250 rider (see below).

Others:

#11 Kyle Chisholm: Chisholm split his time between Canada and the US in 2014. We expect him to race Anaheim on his own program.

#36 Matt Goerke: Goerke is headed to Amsoil Arenacross for the Team Babbitt’s/Monster Energy Kawasaki team. Then it's back up north for the summer with Rockstar Energy Drink/OTSFF Yamaha, as he'll race the Canadian Nationals (MX1) in 2015. Goerke last raced in Canada in 2012, winning the MX1 Championship that season.

TBD Kyle Regal: Regal will race arenacross in 2015 for a new Rockstar Energy TiLube Husqvarna team.

#63 Chris Blose: Blose will ride for the Team Babbit’s/Monster Energy Kawasaki team in arenacross next year. 

#64 AJ Catanzaro: Catanzaro rode for The Factory Metal Works/Club MX team last season. According to the Anaheim 1 pre-entry list, he will race 450SX West Region on a Suzuki with help from JMR Racing and other sponsors, and ride 250SX on the East Coast.

#87 Cody Gilmore: Expect another privateer effort for Gilmore for 2015.

#90: Topher Ingalls: According to the AMA pre-entry list, Ingalls will ride a KTM in 450SX.

250 Class

Notes: The team will feature four new additions in 2015. Adam Cianciarulo, the only returning member, will miss the 2015 Monster Energy Supercross season after sustaining a shoulder injury in Geneva. As always, this team is yet to announce who will race which coast. If we had to guess, it’s Savatgy and Alldredge on the West, but then Savatgy’s name popped up on the entry list for 250SX East Region opener in Arlington, for whatever that’s worth. The mystery continues!

Notes: Justin Bogle and Matt Bisceglia return to the team to join recent amateur grads RJ Hampshire and Jordon Smith. Smith will have to ride a few Amsoil Arenacross rounds to gain his eligibility for supercross, so expect him to ride the East Region. An injury has also pushed Bogle to the East Region, where he is the defending champion. The team signed Malcolm Stewart to a deal for the 250SX West Region, and we expect Hampshire and Bisceglia to join him there.

Notes: Hahn, who hasn't raced full-time since 2012, will race the 250SX West Region and the 250 Class in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross in 2015. Hahn last rode the 250 Class in 2008. Colt Nichols, who raced Amsoil Arenacross last year, will ride the East Region in his rookie year.

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. Bell and Osborne will race West, Davalos East.

Notes: KTM announced the addition of Justin Hill in September. Hill comes over from Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Musquin returns to the team. Hill will race West, Musquin East.

Notes: TLD Honda is now TLD KTM and will return Shane McElrath and Jessy Nelson. The team has also signed Darryn Durham, who spent last year with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki. This team doesn’t race 250SX East so all three will be in the West.

Notes: Jeremy Martin and Cooper Webb signed extensions with the team during the season. Anthony Rodriguez returns for his second year with the team and will be joined by Aaron Plessinger, who moves up from amateurs. Plessinger and Webb will be the West riders.

Notes: Alex Martin and Greg Gehrer return to the team and will contest the 250SX West Region. Rookie Luke Renzland will race the 250SX East Region.

Notes: The team added Kyle Cunningham, who spent last year with SmarTop/MotoConcepts, to the mix. Cunningham will race East.

Notes: Zimmer will race the 250SX East Region. The team signed Killy Rusk for the 450 Class.

Notes: Izzi signed a deal earlier this year with the newly formed team for the 250SX West Region. Izzi last raced Monster Energy Supercross in 2012, finishing ninth in the 250SX West Region. The team announced that Paul Lindsey will serve as team manager.

Notes: Dakota Tedder is back for another year. He will race the East Region.
