IN THE WIND P44 MDK Motorsports Announces World Supercross Roster M DK Motorsports announced its complete rider roster for the upcoming World Supercross Championship (WSX). Chad Reed was already named one of the team's 450cc riders a few weeks back but three spots remained uncertain. Until now. Former AMA Supercross race winner Josh Grant will join Reed as the second 450 rider, while Justin Bogle and Derek Drake will make up the team's two SX2 (250cc) entries. Both 450cc riders are com- ing out of retirement to race the new series. Grant last competed professionally in 2019, with his final result being an eighth in the 450cc class at the East Rutherford Supercross when he was a fill-in rider on the Monster Yamaha factory team. Reed finished the 2020 AMA Supercross series with a season- best 10th at the Salt Lake City finale. The last time Bogle raced a 250 was in 2015 while defending his East Regional Supercross title. He's ridden KTM's in the past. Drake has two seasons of Su- percross under his belt leading into the first round of WSX. Reed, Bogle and Drake will ride KTMs, while Grant will pilot a Honda CRF450R. The MDK bikes all share a similar white look, very reminiscent of the classic AMA Supercross MDK team. Reed is currently wearing Alpinestars gear head to toe with Grant in his familiar Fasthouse setup. Both Bogle and Drake are sporting custom-branded MDK gear by Canvas MX, Bell Helmets and Alpinestars boots. CN (L-R) Justin Bogle, Josh Grant and Derek Drake will join Chad Reed on the MDK Team for the upcoming WSX Championship.
