Good kid and a great family. It's very refreshing to see a team hold on to riders when they get hurt and not ago com them at first chance.

The Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda team is proud to announce that we have extended an agreement with young rider, Jessy Nelson, through 2015, and potentially beyond.

As the 2012 AMA Rookie of the Year, Jessy expected big things coming into the 2013 season. Unfortunately, a few injuries this summer put the brakes on his 2013 racing plans, but those roadblocks haven’t stopped Nelson from optimistically looking ahead to 2014.

“I’m so excited to be staying here with Troy’s team,” says Nelson. “I love the atmosphere here and I know our equipment is the best, so there’s no reason I can’t win races. This year was a bit of a bummer with the injuries and stuff, but I’m already looking forward to next year and I expect a lot out of myself.”

The Troy Lee Designs team has been awaiting Jessy’s return to the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Nationals this summer after an elbow injury placed him on the sidelines. As of now, no date has been set for Nelson’s return, but he is getting close.

“We haven’t decided a date for his return but he’s healing up and it shouldn’t be long before he’s back out there,” explains team manager Tyler Keefe. “We just want to make sure he’s 100%.”

Look for Jessy to return at a National later this summer.

TLD has a history of doing this and I think it is a cool deal. Good team, with good people.

They did the same thing with seely and that turned out to be a great move on their part, Nelson will do good things for that team in the future
