Looks like Weston Peick will get a factory ride in 2013 after all!

Though in Australia for the Supercross season, looks like he is heading this way for our Australian Supercross Championship to ride with Honda.

Few Americans lining up in our 6 round four weekend series this year. Hill is a starter on a Hart and Huntington backed team over here riding for Suzuki

Gavin Faith is back to defend his title with Honda, it sounds as though Chisolm is still in line for a ride and even hearing the 2010 Aus Champion, Josh Hansen might just be back down under again!

I don't really have a basis for this because I have never met the guy, but Hansen and Australian supercross just seem to fit. It doesn't seem odd to me and I would love to watch it.

Yeah, but he's spent the majority of the time in the last year or so doing FMX stuff and prepping for the X-games with Twitch and company instead of being on the track riding at race speeds and intensity. I doubt his time away can be made up instantly, talent or not. We've seen a lot of mega-talented riders spend time away from the track from injury or other hobbies, and they were not at all what they were when they tried to return...haven't we?

Uh, Hansen is at Milestone all the time riding both the MX and SX track.

Good for him. I'm not a Cali guy so I wouldn't know. Probably should have said "I imagine that..." instead of stating it as fact. Oh well...so sue me.

Hey, I hope he does well and am stoked for Weston and Kyle to get rides for the series. Be great to see Hill come back to the greatness he has the potential of getting back to as well. I wouldn't be suprised to see Hill take a win.

That is awesome news for Weston. Get some more exposure before our Supercross season. Surely he will be a title contender over there.

It might be a good wau to make a paycheck and he might surprise himself and others with how well he could do. It would be a great low pressure situation to do some sx.

Maybe Jason should go do the German series?

Peick vs. Hill should be a good battle.

Get so sick of the so and so "has a ton of talent" comments.... who doesn't have a ton of talent at the pro level?

I think Matt Moss will be the man to beat. He's on a tear in MX right now, and he's arguably better at SX

US Supercross star joins Carlton Dry Honda Racing
For immediate release: 3 September 2013

Carlton Dry Honda Racing today confirmed that American Supercross rider Weston Peick would join the team for the 2013 Milwaukee presents the Terex Australian Supercross Championship.

The American, who regularly places in the top ten in both the AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross championships, despite racing as a privateer, will contest the Pro Open class on board a CRF450.

Peick’s most recent results include fourth overall at the Utah National. Outracing many of his factory opponents, Peick recorded top five finishes in both motos.

The Californian rider made his first visit to Australia in May this year to contest the Manjimup 15000 and said he was looking forward to returning for a full Supercross season with the Carlton Dry Honda Racing team.

“I am excited to be returning to Australia,” Peick said. “I came out in May and raced the Manjimup 15000 in Perth but I am really looking forward to a full season with Carlton Dry Honda team.

“It has all come together quite quickly but the team organised me a Honda last week, which I have been riding and will keep testing on until I leave for Australia on Sunday.

“My goal is to come out and win the Pro Open title. I want to get good results to help me secure a full time ride for the 2014 AMA Supercross season; I don’t want to have to race as a privateer anymore.

Glyn Griffiths from Honda Motorcycles is pleased with the strong rider line-up.

“The 2013 Motocross season was a tough one for Honda due to injury and so we are looking forward to having a strong rider line-up for the 2013 Supercross season,” Griffiths said.

“To have confirmed Weston Peick and defending 250 class champion Gavin Faith is exciting for Honda and with the fresh talent of Hayden Mellross the team should achieve some great results.”

Peick joins fellow expatriate Gavin Faith (Pro Lites) and Australian rider Hayden Mellross at the factory Honda team.

Mellross, who was the runner-up in the 2012 Under 19’s class is been given the ride of his life. Mellross will contest the Pro Open class on-board the teams’ second CRF450 and returns to Australia after twelve months training with the Millsaps Training Facility in Georgia.

“This is like a dream come true, I am officially a team Honda factory open rider,” Mellross said. “I am hoping to use this as an opportunity to prepare for the 2014 American Supercross Championship where I will be returning to for next year. As for my goals, I will take each race as it comes and access my position after each round.”

The opening round of the Milwaukee presents the Terex Australian Supercross Championship will be held at Darwin's Hidden Valley Raceway on September 14-15.
