Welcome to Morning Espresso, an awesome piece presented by MotoSport.com. Go check out RDRCO (pronounced “rider-co”) as the company’s exclusive riding gear. This new gear line offers an affordable option for weekend riders and the casual racer.
The introduction of the Supercross Futures as well as the Pro Motocross Combines have been well received around the pits. Anyone that I’ve talked to about them from riders to the team managers all have had great things to say about them. These events are something that the sport needed and it’s helping young talent bridge the gap from amateur to pro.
Gone are the days of just getting a pat on the back and thrown into the pro ranks. Now these riders are getting a glimpse of what it’s like to race on a professional track without having to worry about racing champions like Haiden Deegan and Tom Vialle.
On top of that, these Combines have a detailed schedule and each rider is designated a coach for the day. This allows the riders to talk strategy and learn new insight from some of the best to ever race. The coaches on hand this weekend at Ironman will be Broc Glover, Chad Reed, Ezra Lusk, Michael Byrne, and Kevin Windham. Yeah, count me in.
The riders will also get some PR training from the likes of Jason Weigandt, Christina Denney, and ClubMX’s Mike Bonacci. All three are amazing representatives in the PR department, so pay attention to their every word combiners…
Check out the talent filled list below. This field is absolutely stacked with big named riders and it’s going to be interesting to see how the race plays out. The last Combine at RedBud was so good it went down to the last corner of the race!
One rider not on this list is of course Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Drew Adams. The RedBud Combine winner and AMA Horizon Award winner will be making his professional debut in the 250 class rocking the #593.
