A Landmark Opening Event for Our Program
Our first event of the season has come and gone, marking a significant milestone for our program. In a short period of time, we’ve been able to unite outstanding partners, racers, and crew to compete on the most prestigious stages in our sport and industry.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the partners who believed in our vision and continue to support us as we proudly represent them on and off the track.
Freddie Noren #63
Freddie has had a short off-season with getting back his body back to 100% after a bad ankle injury last summer, however, his positive attitude & work ethic has been a great fit for our program. This is what he had to say after the first round, “It was great to be out in CA racing A1 with the Gizmo Racing/Yamaha Team! I’m thrilled with what we have going & look forward to building on that. Of course, I’m not happy with not qualifying for the Main Event, which will always be something I expect out of myself. However, considering I only have 2 weeks on the SX track and we were close this weekend, I’m happy about that. I will keep building & know with more time my speed will come back.”
Stephen Rubini #106
First time EVER racing Supercross for Stephen & we are thrilled to be able to help him progress & grow his career here in the states this season. Here is what he had to say about being under the lights of A1, “A1 is definitely something I will remember forever, 1st ever Supercross, 1st race with the team, I would just say it was a lot of first’s this weekend. We improved a little bit each time on the track and had my best riding of the day in the last 3 laps of the LCQ. Definitely a lot to learn and I’m looking forward to improve myself with the team. Thank you everyone in the team for the work, my friends, my family, and my wife who came to support me.”
Keegan Rowley #900
Keegan came into the season with never making a Supercross night show, so to see how he has progressed as a racer has been great for our program. Keegan said this after the event, “It was amazing! It was a dream come true. My goal was to make the night show and to do it at A1 is so special. Now I look to reset my goals to continue to get to the next level.”
