“We couldn’t be happier with the direction we are taking in 2020, it is exciting times focus and we are so lucky to have some great team sponsors and personnel involved in SR75…. Bringing Nico on board simply fits with the SR75 style… Nico is a bit of an underdog and we have taken great pride in improving and taking every racer involved with the team to the highest level possible for them to reach… We enjoy this and we have had some great riders come through the ranks with the greatest respect and a smile on their faces… To retain Charles was a must as this guy gives his all every week to improve which is all we ask… Adding Jerome into the fold is another positive and we cannot wait to get going in Arenacross UK and the rest of our schedule…. We work and the results take care of themselves… Thanks as always to all involved in what we do”
