TEAM HAMMER SIGNS MCFADDEN
T
eam Hammer has signed Nick McFadden to contest the 2017 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North Ameri-
can 600 Superstock Championship.
McFadden will compete aboard an M4 medAge Suzuki GSX-R600 fielded by Team Hammer in
collaboration with Dr. Laura Ellis and her AXcess Racing youth development and medAge advanced
athlete training programs. The medAge program includes the use of biometrics, nutritional and hydra-
tion analysis and neurophysiology to maximize physical and mental performance.
McFadden's 2017 effort will also be backed by Rickdiculous Racing's Ken Hill, who will provide spe-
cialized rider coaching.
"I'm really excited to join the team for the 2017 season. I can already tell I'm with a great group and
the program is really strong. I'm really honored to be a part of it," said McFadden. "To me, this deal
seems like a new level and there are some tools I've never had before, like working with Dr. Ellis from
medAge on nutrition and training and working with Ken Hill and Rickdiculous Racing for rider coach-
ing. We've been working together since the MotoAmerica season ended and I could see a huge dif-
ference in my riding even after just the first three days with Ken Hill. It is inspiring to be a part of Team
Hammer and have a great crew behind me. I'm really looking forward to the season and I'm training
very hard to be ready on race day." CN
