Title says it all, another Aussie trying out the European Motocross scene along with Jed Beaton. Keen to see what this kid can do.

I see Zach Pichon is his team mate I assume he's bringing money (He hasn't garnered any results worthy of getting on a team has he?) Which that team needs. I hope that means they can get the bikes better than last year!
Can't wait for next season!

Kind of looks like Mitch has already dropped some weight. Beaton is a big dude and he didn't do to bad on that privateer Kawasaki. I don't think the 114 bike would be any slower then that Kawi. Even though Hunter said it was slow, He did get some okay starts on it especially on hardpack.

I would assume that their engine package will be better this year? How old is Evans?

Yeah maybe, I am only going off Hunter saying they weren't far off stock haha but ya right you wouldn't even get close to those KTMs if ya bike was slow..
Either way surely being a second year team they'll have it more sorted

I think it was rumoured that they got a spec from geico at the start of the season and they stuck with that spec for the whole season. Being a really new bike there is still heaps of room for development so hope they get an updated spec for the new season.

He is 20 years old, I actually raced him myself at Aussies, 8-10 years ago. My aim was not to get lapped by him and Beaton and Wilson Todd ?

Like brycepdh mentioned, i think they got the early Geico Honda engines that were way slower compared to what the Geico Honda bikes had in the end of 2018.

It was also the teams first year in the GPs so i would imagine that pretty much everything will be slightly better for year two!

Hopefully that is the case and the team itself will have more experience too which will play a huge part to their program this season
