Stacey
Berger, Öhlins USA Off Road Manager said, “We’re excited to have Grant
coming on board. I can’t think of anyone better to take Team Öhlins USA
to the next level. Grant has helped us with testing as well as working
with our riders, so we know how great his work ethic is, and how much
he’s going to bring to the table for the team. This is going to be a
great year for us.”

Grant
Langston said, “Being a team manager was a goal of mine. In planning
what to do when I was done racing, this is it. It’s something I fit in
well with: working with young talent, helping riders grow. I think I’ve
got the personality for it. I met Stacey when I was racing because he
approached me about using Öhlins suspension. We stayed in contact, last
year I helped with the team’s rider training. I put out feelers about
being a team manager and then this all fell into place. The timing was
perfect. It’s a good group of people and I’m looking forward to
committing myself to this.

For
the 2012 Supercross and Outdoor seasons. Team Öhlins USA will be
competing in the East AMA Supercross Lites Championship series, and the
450 class in the Outdoor Championship, with riders and sponsors to be
announced soon.
