MUSQUIN
RETURNS TO THOR
M
arvin Musquin, the 2015 AMA 250 East
Supercross Champion, has be reunited
with his former clothing/gear sponsor THOR
MX. Recently, Musquin has been a Fox rider.
Musquin won't be back to defend his 250
title in 2016 but will instead compete full time
in the premier 450 class for the first time with
his long-time Red Bull KTM Racing Team.
"I'm really excited to be back in the THOR
family," Musquin said. "I've had some great times
with them in the past and I can't wait to get more
success with them. It's going to be a great year. "
"We could not be happier about having Marvin
back in our race wear," came a quote from THOR
MX. "Besides being one of the fastest riders on
the track, Marvin is one of the nicest guys you
will ever meet and a true fan favorite. Last season
he proved that nice guys can finish first and win
championships." CN

AMA Racing Moto-
cross Horizon Award
winner, has signed with
the 51FIFTY Energy
Drink Yamaha Team for
the 2016 AMA Super-

pitted along side Aus-
tralian Hayden Mellross,

"It's a solid move
for 51FIFTY as we continue to
grow entering our fifth year as a
team," said Team Manager Craig
Monty. "Zach certainly has the
speed; anyone who watches
him knows that, and we can't
wait for Anaheim 1."
"I'm fired up to be part of the
51FIFTY team," says Bell. "The
program is strong and from
the first day I rode
the practice bike, I
adapted right away to
the YZ. As a team we
have the same realistic
goals, and person-
ally, it's great having
confidence in the
bike, team staff and
total program. I feel
this can be a break-
out year for me and
I'm just ready to keep moving
forward."
Since turning pro, Bell has
been a member of the GEICO
Honda squad. CN
Zach Bell has signed
with the 51FIFTY Energy
