Ready as ever, GASGAS Teams to gear up for the upcoming season races.

GASGAS North America has just announced their racing plans for the 2021 season. At a press event near the company’s North American Headquarters in California, GASGAS was pleased too introduced its first-ever U.S. supercross/motocross effort, which features a diverse line-up of world-class athletes. This will further extend the brand’s impressive history in offroad motorcycle racing and trials competition.

The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team will make its official U.S. racing debut next Saturday, January 16 at the opening round of the AMA Supercross Championship in Houston, Texas. Justin Barcia will be joining teammates, Michael Mosiman and Pierce Brown, for the upcoming season.

Tyler Keefe, longtime manager of Troy Lee Designs’ race team efforts, will be heading the team.

“We may be new to the GASGAS brand this year but we are not new to the Supercross racing scene. It’s been a lot of work for everyone involved in order to get this team ready to go racing and I know that we have a strong team of riders and crew behind us to make it happen. It’s been a dream come true for Troy to have a 450 racing effort and he is beyond stoked to debut in the 450SX class with Justin Barcia next weekend.”

Offroad Racing

The brand new Coastal GASGAS Factory Racing Team is ready to GET ON THE GAS with a two-rider line-up for 2021. Washington native Ricky Russell will headline the team’s efforts in the premier division racing aboard the GASGAS EX 450F. Up-and-comer Johnny Girroir will be racing aboard the EX 250F. Both riders will primarily compete in the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, in addition to the National Enduro Championship and select offroad events around the country.

Led by eight-time GNCC National Champion and Team Manager, Barry Hawk, the newly-developed team further deepens the level of competition inside the offroad paddock as they dive into the next chapter of racing in 2021.

Barry Hawk

“I’ve been in this sport for many years so it’s very exciting when a great opportunity like this comes along. The Coastal GASGAS Factory Racing Team is the next level for us. With the resources available from GASGAS along with the infrastructure that we already have in place, I’m looking forward to and expecting great things this season.”

Trial Racing

GASGAS Factory Racing team will once again field a two-rider line-up. The two will compete at the highest level in the MotoTrials USA National Championship. Premier class front-runner Daniel Blanc-Gonnet will highlight the team’s trials efforts aboard the TXT GP 300. He looks to contest the Pro class championship in 2021. Blanc-Gonnet will be joining three-time AMA NATC Women’s Pro Champion Madeleine Hoover, who will look to reclaim the Women’s Pro title once again in 2021 aboard the TXT GP 300.

10-time AMA National Trials Champion Geoff Aaron will continue representing GASGAS in the U.S. as Team Manager of the Trials Racing division.

Geoff Aaron

“I’ve been a part of the GASGAS family for just around 20 years now. And I can’t say enough about the TXT GP models and everything that this brand represents. I’m really looking forward to the 2021 race season.”
