Teka Suzuki Joins Forces with Rockstar Energy

Teka Suzuki World MX1 is pleased to announce a new multi-year agreement
with American energy drink manufacturer Rockstar. Rockstar Energy and
Teka Group will share title sponsorship of the Suzuki team; thus
becoming ‘Rockstar Teka Suzuki World MX1’.


The Las Vegas-based company, with branches from Australia to the United
Kingdom, will be present with branding on the works RM-Z450 machines as
well as the racing attire of Clement Desalle and Steve Ramon in the FIM
MX1 Motocross World Championship and Belgian and German national
events.

Rockstar are already a prominent name in US racing circles thanks to
their support of the Rockstar Makita Suzuki Team, whose rider Ryan
Dungey is currently leading the AMA Supercross/FIM SX World
Championship. The new agreement with the factory squad based in Lommel,
Belgium, means an even closer bond with Suzuki’s competitive off-road
motorcycle representation at the highest levels of the sport.


“This is an exciting deal for us and we are really looking forward to
welcoming Rockstar Energy in joining the team and our already excellent
set of sponsors led by the Teka Group,” said Rockstar Teka Suzuki World
MX1 Team Manager Eric Geboers. “We will work together towards a bright
future that’ll really boost the profile of the team and everyone
associated with it. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our
partners, suppliers and backers who are so vital for us to race at the
level that we want and to go for the goals we wish to achieve.”


Said Michael Kelso Marketing Director of Rockstar Energy: “We are proud
to announce our new partnership with Geboers Racing Promotion and Teka
to form Rockstar Teka Suzuki WMX1, the premier MX1 racing team in
Europe. The introduction of Rockstar Teka Suzuki unifies our global
union with Suzuki motocross with all three Suzuki factory teams now
titled by Rockstar Energy Drink. Suzuki has proven to be a great
partner for Rockstar, and we expect long term success with this
alliance.”


“Teka is very pleased to join forces with Rockstar Energy to further
develop and enforce the team’s presence for the FIM MX1 World
Championship,” commented Teka Group CEO Markus Bau. “The marketing
boost produced by a dynamic and successful company such as Rockstar
Energy fits perfectly the world-wide mission of our companies. I want
to express my special thanks to Geboers Racing Promotion that Teka is
fully recognised in this partnership and that the promotional return
has improved for all the team’s partners.”


Rockstar Teka Suzuki World MX1 will begin the 2010 FIM Motocross World
Championship at the award-winning circuit of Sevlievo for the Grand
Prix of Bulgaria on April 3rd-4th.
The meeting will be the first of 15 in six months, visiting 13
countries. The season-closing Motocross of Nations - that attracted
