Newcastle, NSW JULY 16th, 2014 - Most would have noticed that the Raceline Pirelli Suzuki setup had some new faces under the truck at round 7 of the Monster Energy MX Nationals on the weekend. See >>Words: Mx Nationals
MX2 rider Ryan Marmont was a notable absentee from round six at Swan Hill, and has now confirmed that he will be taking some time off racing to focus his energy on family and business.
For MX2 rider Geran Stapleton, a crash at Swan Hill resulted in him injuring his shoulder, which forced him to sit out of round 7 to recover.
With two spots to fill under the Raceline truck, an invitation was extended to MXD rider Dylan Wilson to take a spot with the team at round 7 at Conondale.
Unfortunately during practice, Wilson hit a tree root, which saw him take a huge fall, deeming him unable to race for the remainder of the day.
Despite the fall, Wilson will return to the MX Nationals at round eight of the series and has now signed with the team for the remainder of the 2014 motocross season.
Raceline has also confirmed that Stapleton will also be fit, healthy and ready to contest round eight at Raymond Terrace on August 3.
With the return of Stapleton and Wilson, both the riders and the team are positive about getting back into racing for the remainder of the year.
The Raceline Pirelli Suzuki Team will head to Raymond Terrace for round 8 of the Monster Energy MX Nationals on August 3, 2014. For spectator information head to www.mxnationals.com.au
