Courtesy Mark FriesRoyal Distributing, in conjunction with KTM Canada would like to proudly announce the newly formed Royal Distributing Pro Xtreme Motocross Team. We will be competing nationally in the CMRC aboard KTM motorcycles. The team will ride out of the impressive RoyalDistributing.com hauler. Royal and KTM have assembled a very strong group of riders to compete in the MX1, and MX2 National Championship Series'.
Contending for the MX2 West Title will be Micheal Sleeter #181. Micheal is from Escondido, California, and turned pro in 2001. Micheal is a KTM factory test rider, who helped develop the new 250SXF. This past winter Micheal rode KTM's as a privateer in the AMA Supercross Lites, made finals and posted excellent results against well funded factory guys. Micheal has but one goal this year, to win the MX2 West title aboard a Royal Distributing KTM.
Contending for the MX2 East Title will be Iain Hayden #62. Iain is from Espanola, Ontario, and has been riding pro MX and snowcross for many years. Iain is fresh off a very dominating season aboard the Royal Distributing Ski-Doo's in a perfect season of finals, winning the CSRA National Titles in both Pro Stock and Pro Open snowcross. Iain will also start the CMRC season riding the western national rounds aboard a 450SXF KTM. Iain is in great shape and can't wait to get back on the bikes.
Contending for the MX1 National title will be Marco Dube #24, from Montreal, Quebec. Marco will be riding the 450SXF nationally, and is very excited to be back competing in Canada on KTM's. Among Marco's credits are: 2 Time Canadian Champion , 5 Time Canadian Arenacross Champion, 2002 US Open 4-Stroke Champion, Most Victories won by a Canadian Amateur. Marco is a class act, and has been training hard in the US all winter.
We at Royal are very excited for the upcoming season to start. KTM has proven that their "Race Ready" approach to bikes wins races and championships, as KTM won the MX2 East championship last year with Micheal Willard. Royal Distributing is going to be using this team to display their various brands with a unique rider gear package. Hayden will be riding with Answer gear, Sleeter with Shift gear, and Dube with FXR gear. Royal sells and stands behind these brands with race proven testing. Royal Distributing is proud to be involved with the Canadian Motocross scene as a 3rd year sponsor this year of the CMRC national series. Royal Distributing is also the proud sponsor the the Royal Distributing holeshot award, which awards $200 for each Pro Moto in the national Rounds in MX1, and MX2 to the holeshot winner. Royal Distributing will also remain a major sponsor of the KTM/Stoneridge/Royal factory KTM national team, as they look to expand on the success of last year.
