TLD/Red Bull/GasGas Signs Ryder DiFrancesco I n a hilarious video, the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas 250 Factory Racing Team announced it has signed Ryder DiFrancesco for the 2024 Supercross and Pro Motocross Championship. This is the first time anyone will see Ryder D on a brand other than Kawasaki. He was a long - time Team Green/Pro Circuit prodigy and started with the Kawasaki riding a KX65. "We're super-excited to have Ryder DiFrancesco join the team for the 2024 racing season," said team manager, Max Lee. "He has a lot of talent and a good work ethic, so I think he's a great fit for the group and the GasGas brand!" "I am very excited to make the transition to the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas Fac - tory Racing Team for my first full professional season," said Difrancesco. "I'm ready for new challenges and learning a new bike, which is the exciting part of what's ahead together."
