Yup, and it still carries the IceOne name if you look carefully on the shrouds.

Where's Covington riding in 2017? Are there multiple factory supported Husky teams in MXGP?

Yes this is the Iceone 450 team which is owned by Kimi Raikonnen . Covington rides for the factory Mx2 team which is managed by Jacky Martens. Both "factory"

Paulin made the move to Shift from Fox like Roczen. Gear and bikes looking as good as ever.

I'm a huge fan of the set Paulin wore for this photoshoot. Good looking stuff.

I hope Paulin can show us some of his old speed , like when he was on the Kawasaki.
A healthy Nagl is blistering fast and who knows Max could gel with the 450 , like Fevbre and Gasjer!?
The Mxgps are looking exciting this year!

I had to ask because I had the chance to meet him in Italy at the MXoN last year and he was very nice.

The black and white Shift gear that Paulin wears looks 10 times better than the mustard gear Roczen was wearing!

Not sure why but having the tyre logo on the sidewalls of the tyre always does something for me, whatever the vehicle. The black rims just make the Pirelli logo "pop" even more.

Be interesting to see how Anstie does this year, kinda seems like he's being shown as the 3rd guy on the team but I feel on his day he's good enough to run up front with the best of them. Fingers crossed Nagl can stay injury free this season and Paulin can find some old form too!

The 23 rule strikes again. Anstie will be privateering it again soon.

Yep. So stupid.

Unless he can be good enough to keep the spot on Ice One.

The 23 age rule should be removed, the pointing out rule in US racing should be removed. Make the 250 classes in US and World racing open for all the pros. The sport is not big enough for rules like that.

totally agree. To be honest i have no clue what would be bad about having a 28 year old guy in MX2.

I wonder if FMF will release the exhaust like they are using? The head pipes are much longer and the slip fit is in a different spot. Yes I know they are works pipes from FMF probably to their spec, but it usually trickles down to the masses.

Ive seen Anstie on a 450 and he rips,mixing it in the GPs will be a learning curve for him.
Hopefully a regular top ten guy,Id like to think he can pull off a podium or 2 this season too if he stays healthy

Killer looking bikes. Just wish they were still Red Bull and not Rockstar as I thought it looked better.

Speed has never been an issue for him. He could run with Herlings on his best days but at the same time barely getting top 10s or crashing out on his bad days.

I hope he can stay healthy for the whole season. He is one of my favorites in the GPs. And together with Marvin the two best riders in the world of MX and SX when it comes to interviews.
