The first Grand Prix is right around the corner and we\u2019re ready to compete and podium in both the 250cc and 450cc classes with our talented riders.\u201d said Pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pipes Motorsports Group\u2019s SX2 Class is led by Michigan-native, Marshal Weltin who has had a strong showing in the American Motocross series competing in six of eight main event races. Although Weltin is racing in the SX2 class for Pipes,\u202fhis experience and knowledge gathered from running in both the 250cc and 450cc class in the states will be a valuable asset to the team in this pilot season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team\u2019s final rider is up-and-comer Dilan Schwartz who turned professional in 2020. Young and fearless, California-native Schwartz has already showcased talent in the 250cc Class with five top 10 finishes in American Supercross and Motocross Series\u2019. His youthful exuberance combined with Weltin, Hartranft and Rodriguez provide Pipes Motorsports Group a formidable quartet of riders competing for a FIM World Supercross Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
