Supercross has a new team that should be a formidable force in the coming year for 2019. ClubMX and Traders Racing have decided to join forces to compete with the larger factory teams in the 2019 Supercross season. This will add even more excitement to the first race of the season, Anaheim 1.

“We are very excited to combine efforts with ClubMX for the 2019 season and beyond,” said Traders team manager Kenny Day in a statement. “Making this move will essentially allow our team to be in one central location. Working together with one goal in mind is something I have always desired as a team manager and I feel I have found it with the merger with ClubMX. ClubMX has the best training facility in the country in my opinion and I’m really looking forward to building this relationship to help grow both parties involved. Together I truly believe we will have the full package to not only deliver better results but also offer more of a return to all of our sponsors than in years prior.”

A lot of fans are unsure who both teams will keep as riders. Most fans and experts believe that Joey Crown, Luke Renzland, Jayce Pennington, and Josh Osby will likely be on the team in 2018. There has not been an announcement as to who will remain on the team but keep a close eye as I am sure the riders and team are eager to announce their new team. There also has been no announcement as to what the newly merged team will be called. Most people are speculating that the team will carry the ClubMX name on. We will have to wait and see for Anaheim 1 to see what the new team will be called.

Non-Factory teams struggle to compete with factory teams as they do not have the financial backing of the factory teams. This has created a large concentration of teams at the top of the sport of Supercross because smaller teams simply cannot compete with the factory teams. Think of it as soccer, Manchester United have an astoundingly large budget to spend on their team; a team like Everton simply cannot compete because they do not have the budget for great players. That is exactly what is happening in Supercross, the factory teams have more resources so all of the best riders in the world go to those teams. ClubMX and Traders Racing have been struggling to compete with the factory teams at the top level and merging together will allow their riders to compete with the top teams.

Traders race director Skip Norfolk said, “The combining of efforts with ClubMX is a great opportunity for both of us. Competing with the factory teams is becoming more difficult and costly. Being able to offer a complete package to our riders with a training program, nutrition program, the nation’s top tracks to train on, well-maintained practice bikes as well as competitive race bikes are critical to their development and ultimately their success on race day. We are in a position now to compete with the best in the world. Also, we are now able to enhance the marketability of the race team. We will be able to offer a retail avenue to our partners, all in an effort to sell products. That is the bottom line, how to help those companies sell more products… it has to be more than just racing, and we are beyond excited to now be able to offer that.”

This was a great move for ClubMX and Traders Racing as they will be a much more formidable force in Supercross plus they can bring in more revenue which will further enhance their standing in the Supercross season. It will be interesting to see if smaller teams decide to go the route of ClubMX and Traders Racing and merge together. The 2019 season should be even more competitive now and fans are even more excited for Anaheim 1.

We will have to wait for more updates in the coming weeks as teams continue to prepare for the 2019 Supercross season. One thing is for sure, Anaheim 1 will be filled with plenty of great drama and excitement to make sure that you tune for it!

MXGP and AMA Motocross has several differences. They are organized on opposite edges of the world, featuring different athletes and run by different people. Even their fans are different, and both often argue to prove that their series is the best. Both sets are worlds apart. For instance, the name of motocross is different than MXGP. For each signature obstacle, track-style or elite sportspersons in MXGP, both series are comparable.

Look at a few of these corresponding items that make two different championships look similar.

Leap of LaRocco: AMA

While considering the big jumps of America, your mind will stop at RedBud National, Michigan for LaRocco’s Leap. In fact, it was 40m in length, and it would be difficult to look beyond anyway. It can’t be the biggest jump in the AMA because of some preposterous boosters currently built at Glen Helen and Hangtown. Still, it is a considerable jump and the iconic and oldest signature obstacles of AMA. It is named after the former racer of AMA, Mike LaRocco. He is the person who manages the vast Honda GEICO team.

Almost 20 years before, a native of Michigan came up with an exciting idea to recreate a massive jump at a private practice track at RedBud, nicknamed Kong. Co-owner of the track Tim Ritchie approved, and a leap of LaRocco comes into existence. Appropriately, LaRocco became the first rider to remove the flaws of a massive launch, although he went home and obtained his particular factory bike for this purpose.

After two decades or even more, the massive jump is intimidating, though several riders will boast that it is easy. The Leap has technical difficulties, and it takes a massive set of specific balls to complete this job.

If you have seen a jump personally, you are justified in relating it. Standing at a foundation and gazing up at the face of jump, which may look more than a wall from this vintage than a launch ramp, is sufficient to affect the people with weak hearts to immediately load their backup and drive to their home. You may hit the wall like James Stewart and pray that you are going quick enough to clear your uphill landing.

Luckily, people who have to complete “The Leap” generally know their activities. When they get a chance to do this, they will get a reward from hundreds of screaming fans with air horns, saluting and yelling, beer-soaked paws shove high in the midair. For LaRocco, he is not interested in doing anything to do with this jump, but he is sure that he could do it in a better way if he needed to.

The Quad Lommel: MXGP

There are some vast and jumps on the calendar of MXGP, but these two stand out if you are looking at sheer guts needed to brand them.

The arduous quad at Basin Matterley, in the United Kingdom, is not for a faint-hearted person. If you are an 8th-time world champion, such as Tony Cairoli, you may even throw in one sassy overtake on this event, but we would perhaps advise beside doing that.

When the MXGP moved to Thailand in 2016 for the 1st time, there was one large tabletop for single-leap, EvgenyBobryshev that Russian rider. He is the only man to clear it in a go and touch the skies as his achievements reveal. He stated that you require vast coconuts to surmount.

On the scene of MXGP, the topmost jump, for your money, is in Europe, at Lommel. A courtyard in the beat unit at the famous Belgian track requires ultimate skills and the best to tackle it.

Gautier Paulin presented his rivals and enthralled fans in 2014, how to manage it in a unique style and he tacked it. The Frenchman avoid mess around while making his way around.

In fact, both championships have their charm. The supercross championship is a new version of the racing championship of motocross with a dirt bike. The motocross needs long courses that are designed on the natural dirt and topography is naturally available. The earth hauled stadiums are identified of supercross races. These races held in covered domes and open stadiums from January to May.
