Royal Distributing and Marin Bikes Presents Behind the Lens- 2017 Honda Racing GDR Fox Photo Shoot
As everyone knows by now, the biggest news of this off-season has been the signing of 19 year old Dylan Wright to the Honda Canada Racing GDR Fox Team. Coming off his best season to date as a pro rider, Dylan was a hot commodity for race teams looking for a rider capable of winning races in 2017. After months of going back and forth, the two party’s were able to come to an agreement that would see Dylan switch from Yamaha to Honda for 2017 and beyond.
After suffering a small knee injury back in October, Dylan wasn’t able to even ride his new Honda until this week at Gopher Dunes. Under the watchful eye of his new boss Derek Schuster, Dylan threw his leg over his new 2017 CRF250 this past week and turned in some laps. Accompanying him at Gopher Dunes, was his new teammate Colton Facciotti, and fellow Fox athlete, Canadian BMX hero Drew Bezanson. These three riders had a blast on Wednesday getting to know each other while they played around in the sand. Lucky for us, James Lissimore was flown in to help document this historic day at the track. Here are a few of James’s photos from Gopher Dunes.
