MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTORE/SUZUKI
RACING TEAM ANNOUNCED
F
our riders will make up the all-new Motor-
cycle Superstore/Suzuki Racing Team for
both the 2016 Monster Energy Supercross and
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Series. Jimmy Albert-
son, Mark Worth, Josh Osby and Kyle Cun-
ningham will make up the four-member squad
that will compete on Suzuki RM-Z250s.
"This is just the opportunity that we have
been waiting for," said Albertson. "After sit-
ting down with the crew at Motorcycle Super-
store, our plans and visions aligned perfectly.
I couldn't be more excited to start this relation-
ship."
Both Albertson, 27, and Cunningham, 26,
are veterans of the sport, while Worth, 17, and
Osby, 19, are young up-and-comers. Worth is
one of the hot riders coming out of the amateur
ranks.
"After winning at a young age, it is tough to ex-
cept anything less," said Worth.
For Motorcycle Superstore, it says this is a
unique strategic marketing platform as much as it
is a race team and is looking forward to telling sto-
ries about the athletes and the products they use
via their website, email, endemic and social media,
and at the races.
Suzuki's Rod Lopusnak, Director, Operations
Head Motorcycle/ATV Sales Operations said, "Su-
zuki is pleased to partner with industry leader—Mo-
torcycle Superstore on their new 250 race team.
This will bring both companies excellent opportu-
nities to showcase their product and brands! We
could not be more excited that Motorcycle Super-
store selected our all-new RM-Z250 as the foun-
dation of their program. Motorcycle Superstore's
passion for the industry, racing and management
made this an easy choice. We look forward to
working together and strategically growing this
team into a future contender!" CN
