MALCOLM STEWART GOES GEICO
G
EICO Honda announces the
signing of Malcolm Stewart
to its team for the 2015 season.
Stewart will compete in the 250
Supercross West class in the
2015 Monster Energy AMA Su-
percross Series.
Even though Stewart showed
what he could do in the 450
class in the outdoor Nationals,
Stewart said he's looking forward
to returning to the 250 class for
Supercross.
"I'm excited for this opportuni-
ty," Stewart said. "Obviously, the
GEICO Honda team is a top-tier
group that is always in conten-
tion. I think my previous experi-
ence in the 250 class, especially
in 250 Supercross West, will
help make this transition easier
and get us off to a fast start."
Stewart ended the 2014 250
Supercross West Championship
in sixth place with three podium
results and just one finish out-
side the top 10.
"I'm hoping to start the year
off strong and get the results I
think we are capable of achiev-
ing," added Stewart.
GEICO Honda team manager
Mike LaRocco feels the addition
of Stewart to the team will give an
added veteran boost to the entire
Supercross season, not just the
West races.
"We like to put our best foot for-
ward on the West Coast," LaRoc-
co said. "Not only is the majority of
the industry located in this region,
but the West riders kind of dictate
the rest of the racing. The other
riders really get to build some mo-
mentum off the West guys if they're
running well, and that's what we
like to try to ensure."
