Rock River Power Sports 2011 Outdoor Motocross Lineup


Jefferson,
Wisconsin (May 12, 2011)
- Rock River Power Sports(RRPS) is pleased
to announce it's 2011 lineup for the Outdoor Motocross Series. Jeff
Alessi #801 and Jarred Browne #53 will be returning after the first
few rounds. Both suffered injuries during the Supercross season, and
are eager to get back on their RRPS Yamaha 450's and make their mark
in the 2011 season. Vince Friese #45 will be piloting one of the
450's at the start of the season to prove he is a force to be
reckoned with, and deserves a permanent spot on the 2011 RRPS Outdoor
team. Jared Hicks #750 will attend a few races as well to fill in on
the other Yamaha 450.



Alex
Millican #707 will return to the Outdoor season after a devastating
Lites crash put him out for the rest of the Supercross season. He
has been training hard for the outdoors, and looks forward to great
season with Rock River. Drew Yenerich #87, one of the veterans of
the Rock River team, suffered a concussion during the Jacksonville
Supercross ending his season early.


He
is eager to get back on the bike, but does not have clearance yet.



Seth
Caldwell #335 is a long time RRPS amateur rider. He is a current
example of the RRPS program. He got his feet wet at a few East Coast
Lites events this year, and will be attending a few East Coast
Outdoor events as well. The progression of the RRPS riders from
amateur to pro is smooth, and something no one else offers at this
point. We expect to see Grant Ransdale and Joey Peters running the
250 or 450 classes in select events after Loretta Lynns this year.



A
new addition to the team is Marissa Markelon #28. Currently being
trained by Doug Henry, she will be attending all the WMA races out of
the Rock River Racing Semi and we are very excited to have her
aboard. Henry's training methods are second to none as he has proved
time and time again overcoming challenges in his life that most see
unobtainable. We are sure he has instilled these values in Marissa,
and are looking forward to her knocking one of those digits off the
#28 this year.



"We
are very excited about our 2011 team, and look forward to some great
exposure for all our sponsors" stated team owner Mike DuClos.
"Our program, different from most, focuses on the amateur rider,
and bringing them into the Pro realm, we have had a lot of success
with riders like Peick, Lamay, Sewell, Yenerich and others, and look
forward to the next group coming through the ranks."



The
Rock River Pro Semi will be stepping up its Pro support for all
Yamaha riders at all the Outdoor rounds as well as the GP this year.
This team is making consistent changes on a regular basis to improve
the promotion of it's sponsors, as well as increase their abilities
to help their riders.


The
team first places amateur riders in the seats that have come up
through their program, and then fills the seats with riders who need
help if no one is moving up.
