Cianciarulo To Retire
A
dam Cianciarulo will retire in
May at the end of the 2024
Monster Energy Supercross
Series. The 27-year-old has been
suffering an ongoing nerve-re-
lated injury to his hand and arm
that makes it difficult for him to
grip the bike's handlebar. Unable
to find a remedy after several
years of frustration, Ciancia
-
rulo has decided that enough is
enough.
Cianciarulo has spent his en
-
tire professional career aboard
Green. "I was seven years old
when I signed with Kawasaki,"
he said, "and from my amateur
career with Team Green to turn
-
ing pro and my time in the 250
class with Pro Circuit, to the last
four years with factory Kawasaki
at the highest level in our sport,
here we are 20 years later, and
I couldn't be more proud of the
relationship we have built, and
our accomplishments together.
Through the highs and lows
that are inevitable in this sport,
Kawasaki has been more than
just a sponsor; they have always
treated me like family and had
my back even when the road
ahead looked uncertain.
"As I announce my retirement,
I want to extend my deepest
thanks to Kawasaki for their
belief in me and their relentless
commitment. It's been an honor
and a privilege to represent such
an iconic brand, and to be a
part of a team with the utmost
integrity. I've made friends that
will last a lifetime, and memories
I will always cherish. My love for
racing, and our sport in general,
is stronger than ever,
and I look forward to
the future with the
same excitement I
had as a kid dream
-
ing of the career, I
was so fortunate to
have had."
"Adam Ciancia
-
rulo's retirement
marks the end of an
era in Supercross and
motocross, but his
impact on the rac
-
ing community will
resonate for years
to come," said Dan
Fahie, Sr. Manager
of Kawasaki Racing.
"His talent and dedi
-
cation to Monster En-
ergy Kawasaki have
been unparalleled,
leaving an unforget
-
table mark on our
team and the sport
as a whole. We're
grateful for his contributions
and proud to have been part of
his journey. Adam's legacy will
continue to inspire both on and
off the track."
