Fox Racing Canada Presents Behind The Lens- Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing Team Media Day

With just over a week until the opening gate drop of the 2025 Triple Crown Series at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary, teams and riders have been busy preparing. Most recently, several teams have been doing their annual photo shoots and media days. A week ago at Gopher Dunes, the Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing Team was introduced as all of the media, team sponsors, and personnel gathered in Frank Schuster’s incredible shop/moto museum to answer questions and give their thoughts on the upcoming 2025 Triple Crown Series.

For 2025, the Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing Team will feature multi-time 450 class champion Dylan Wright, two-time 250 Pro/Am class champion Ryder McNabb, and the up-and-coming Noah Viney. All three riders appeared to be loose and very forthcoming with the media yesterday. They answered questions about everything from preparation, their expectations, and how the testing has been going on their 2025 CRF models. We also heard from GDR Team owner Derek Schuster and team GM Ryan Lockhart about where the team is at with just 11 days to go before the opening round in Calgary. Both gentlemen said the team is in a great place, but they won’t be able to exhale until the GDR Honda Team transport heads west to Alberta.

After the press conference, everyone was invited to eat lunch, and then we travelled just down the road to the Gopher Dunes track to watch all three riders spin some laps on their race bikes. All three red riders looked comfortable while performing massive whips over the main Gopher Dunes double jump. They also looked great in their 2025 Fox Racing custom Hello Future MX race gear, which is now available for purchase inside the Gopher Dunes Pro Shop. After some riding and photos, the three riders were made available for one-on-one interviews with the media, and then it was time to head home. It was a great day, and thank you to the Honda Canada GDR Fox Racing Team and the Gopher Dunes crew for their hospitality. As always, we had James Lissimore there to capture the memorable moments from this special day.
