Headlined by the new Troy Lee Designs/ Red Bull / GASGAS Factory Racing Team, first-ever U.S. supercross/motocross effort, GASGAS North America presented its 2021 competition program. Justin Barcia will race his new MC 450F, joined by teammates Michael Mosiman (East) and Pierce Brown (West), in the 250SX classes aboard the MC 250F.
"We may be new to the GASGAS brand this year but we are not new to the Supercross racing scene," says longtime TLD race team manager Tyler Keefe. "It’s been a lot of work for everyone involved in order to get this team ready to go racing and I know that we have a strong team of riders and crew behind us to make it happen. It’s been a dream come true for Troy to have a 450 racing effort and he is beyond stoked to debut in the 450SX class with Justin Barcia next weekend.”
Led by 8-time GNCC National Champion and Team Manager, Barry Hawk, the new Coastal GASGAS Factory Racing Team will compete in the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, in addition to the National Enduro Championship and select off-road events around the country. "The Coastal GASGAS Factory Racing Team is the next level for us," says Hawk. "With the resources available from GASGAS along with the infrastructure that we already have in place, I’m looking forward to and expecting great things this season.”
Staying true to its roots, GASGAS will once again field a two-rider line-up to compete in the MotoTrials USA National Championship. Premier class front-runner Daniel Blanc-Gonnet will compete on a TXT GP 300. Blanc-Gonnet is joined by 3-time AMA NATC Women’s Pro Champion Madeleine Hoover aboard the TXT GP 300. I"’ve been a part of the GASGAS family for just around 20 years now and I can’t say enough about the TXT GP models and everything that this brand represents," says team manager 10-time AMA National Trials Champion Geoff Aaron. "I’m really looking forward to the 2021 race season.”
