That's a large team with some serious bankroll.

Flashback! I'm glad to see it. He had some great rides on the Honda. I would like to see him figure it out because he truly is one of the faster riders. Just so inconsistent.

I'd say they have a little cash laying around in their budget after losing Tomac and Hahn. lol

That ad was bad ass, intill I saw the helmets. I don't think one could make an uglier shape for a helmet, they're just awful looking.

No kidding. He has had 9 lives of a MX career with lots of great teams.

Blake is the poster child for "250 Specialist"...right there with Martin Davalos! Good on him though. Good dude, deserves a quality ride.

How cool! I knew someone would pick up Prince, and this has to be the perfect team. He had great style on that Honda a couple of years back, I hope he can find the same speed and run up front for 2014.

With the new HP they found by building there own engines, he may do really well. Not a fan but he is fast on a dirt scooter. I can see him punting Wilson now. Lol
