Comment: Hill raced the 250 Class in 2018 for the first three rounds before moving up to the 450 Class. This will be his first full year in Pro Motocross in the 450 Class. 

Other Notes: 

The TPJ/Fly Racing squad supports many privateers but Austin Politelli, Ben LaMay, John Short, Heath Harrison, and Dylan Merriam are the headliners for the summer.

Broc Tickle’s suspension has finally been announced. He is ineligible to return to racing until February 2020.

Chad Reed was signed to a supercross-only contract with JGR/Yoshimura Suzuki to fill-in for the injured Peick.

Josh Grant injured his leg while testing and is not expected to race this season.

Tyler Bowers will race the season as a privateer. 

The SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/Honda team is supercross-only but will race the first two rounds with Kris Keefer as the rider, and our very own Steve Matthes as team manager. Yes, this is really happening.

The HEP Motorsports Suzuki team is supercross-only.
