KTM Canada – KTM/Redbull/FLY

The KTM Canada Team has been very busy since late February, as they’ve been down at the GPF Practice Facility in Georgia testing and putting in some laps. All three riders have been riding and training together, and things have been going great. While Pettis and Natzke have been testing their new KTM 450 FE motorcycle, Benoit has spent most of his time riding a KTM 350SX-F before returning to his 250F. The KTM team moved from GPF to ClubMX for the final three weeks of training. Once they return to Quebec in early May, they will be racing at least one local race before travelling west for the opening round.

Yamaha Canada – MX101/FXR/Yamaha

Other than struggling to secure a rider to race in the 450 class, the off-season has been fairly routine for Kevin Tyler’s Race Team. Both Racine and Jones have spent significant down riding in Florida, and by all accounts they look great. The 250 riders have a new YZ250F to work with in 2024, and so far, the reports have been that this new bike works very well. Jones had some solid motos last summer, so he’ll no doubt be looking to build on those results in 2024. For Racine, he comes into 2024 with the opportunity to do something special. If all goes well, we expect him to be in championship contention all summer in the 250.

Honda Canada – Honda/GDR/FOX

Both GDR Honda riders are now back in Canada while they put the finishing touches on their Triple Crown Series preparation. Dylan has stated that he’s planning on racing several local events in the next month, including the opening two rounds of the AMO OPC Series. Tyler will also be getting in a few gate drops before the opening round in Calgary, so we know both riders will be ready to go. As they have for the past several years, Gopher Dunes will be hosting the GDR Honda Media Day on May 16th, so we’ll be able to get a better look at the Red Rider Team then.
