- The
Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki
Factory Racing Team is pleased to announce that Alex Martin has
signed a two-year contract to race the Suzuki
RM-Z250. The multi-race winner and title contender will contest
the 250 regional Supercross series and 250 National
Championship.
Hailing from Millville, Minnesota, Martin has an impressive racing
resume. The 28-year-old has earned two National wins, three
Supercross podiums, 18 outdoor podiums, and a combined 84 top-ten
finishes. Martin has twice finished runner-up in the Lucas Oil Pro
Motocross Championship.
"I'm very happy to be joining the team and excited for the next two
years," stated Martin. "The resources that the
Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team has to offer, along
with the facility at JGRMX in North Carolina, will be a huge
benefit. Suzuki is coming out with a brand-new RM-Z250 for 2019,
and I'm excited to get great results on the bike. I am looking
forward to the next few years!"
Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing team manager Jeremy
Albrecht is eager to work with the veteran. "I'm pumped that a
rider of Alex's caliber will be on the all-new Suzuki RM-Z250. Our
goal is to win races, both in Supercross and the Nationals. Alex is
extremely disciplined, a proven winner, and has that hunger to
succeed. I feel really good about our chances in 2019 and beyond."
