ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI KICKS-OFF MXGP SEASON / Mar.3.2014

Team Suzuki Press Office – March 2.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MXGP’s Clement Desalle and Kevin Strijbos tentatively launched their seasons on the factory RM-Z450s with seventh and eighth positions in the opening rounds of the FIM MXGP Championship under the floodlights of Losail in Qatar on Saturday evening.

Rutty and bumpy in places and with plenty of air-time for the bikes Losail was formed from an inconsistent desert terrain in terms of traction and grip and demanding bumps. It meant the riders had to stay sharp and focussed through the two 30 minute and two-lap motos; the...

COLDENHOFF RACES TO A TOP-3 AT QATAR MX2 / Mar.3.2014

Team Suzuki Press Office – March 2.

Glenn Coldenhoff put the RM-Z250 back into the top three on his debut in yellow and black colours and across the many jumps of the spectacular and floodlight track of Losail in Qatar on Saturday.

The three-man Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe attack on the MX2 division of the FIM Motocross World Championship started in fine form as the factory-backed RM-Z250 runners relished getting back into action for the first Grand Prix of 18 this season.

A modest trackside attendance entered the gates, but this novel launch to the Grand Prix trail that will visit 15...

Rockstar Energy Racing has a Night to Forget in Indy / Mar.2.2014

Indianapolis Supercross was a night and day difference from the track surface at the first two East Coast rounds. Every corner, jump face and landing was riddled with ruts the entire width of the tack. The two whoop sections were so destroyed and treacherous, it was a challenge for the riders to even keep their feet on the pegs without having them ripped off. It was certainly the polar opposite of the hard packed tracks in Arlington and Atlanta.

Ivan Tedesco had his worst night of the year since joining the team at Anaheim 1. After having a tough go in practice, which was not an uncommon...

Bad Starts Hamper Rockstar Energy Racing in ATL / Feb.24.2014

The trip to the most attended race each year in the Georgia Dome proved to be an off night for the entire team. For the 2nd consecutive week the track was built with clay and increasingly slippery as the evening progressed. A slick and technical track is very difficult to pass on so bad starts equal less than stellar finishes and that is what the night equated out to. On a positive note however, both riders left Atlanta healthy putting a track that saw a plethora of crashes behind them.

Ivan Tedesco has been consistent in his heat races thus far in 2014. In fact he has been one spot out of...

Tedesco and Thompson Head East to Arlington / Feb.17.2014

Rockstar Energy Racing put the West Coast in the rear view mirror for the time being and began the long trek through to the East. The continuation of the 450 title chase and round 1 of the East Coast 250 Championship kicked off in the massive Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The team was starting the East swing without Davi Millsaps and Joey Savatgy who were both injured during the offseason. In their place Ivan Tedesco will keep riding the KTM 350 in the 450 class and Cole Thompson will be contesting the 250 class.

Unfortunately the track in AT&T Stadium left something to be desired with the...

Anderson Reclaims Sole Possession of Red Plate in San Diego

Rockstar Energy Racing made the short trip south from Corona to the last west coast stop in San Diego, before the series heads east. They entered the race in a rare tie for first place in the 250 championship after some huge positives and some minor negatives. If it wasn't for the team's ability to constantly overcome, they wouldn't be in the title conversation. Saturday proved to have the ups and downs all mixed into one night and in the end, they left with the points lead. They continue to do what it takes to be a championship caliber program.

In the final race in Anaheim one week ago,...

Foust joins VW Andretti Rallycross for 2014 / Feb.7.2014

Rockstar Energy Drink driver Tanner Foust is making the move to a new team and new car in 2014 for his rallycross campaign.

The three-time U.S. rallycross champion will race for Volkswagen in 2014, one of two drivers on the just-announced Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross (VARX) team.

"The level of preparation that Volkswagen Motorsport and Andretti Autosport bring to rallycross can't be overstated. Volkswagen conquered the World Rally Championship on their first attempt and joining them for rallycross is an amazing opportunity," said Foust.

Volkswagen of America,...

Anaheim Woes Tighten Points Chase for Jason Anderson / Feb.3.2014

Aside from the 1st Anaheim in 2014, the city has not been very friendly to Rockstar Energy Racing's quest for the 250 West Championship with Jason Anderson. With the controversial cross flag penalty at A2, to the poor decision by Malcolm Stewart, taking himself and Jason to the ground after seemingly not even attempting to turn as he went straight into him at A3. Some may say team tactics were involved as Malcolm is the teammate of Anderson's closest competition in the points chase, Cole Seely. That is certainly a possibility, or it could just be the aggressive type of riding that is...

Jason Anderson Brings the Red Plate Back Home / Jan.27.2014

There was no controversy this weekend and no question who is the man to beat in the 2014 West Coast 250 Championship. That is none other than Rockstar Energy Racing's Jason Anderson who picked up his 3rd win in 4 races and put the red plate back where it belongs, on the number 17.

Jason Anderson was definitely not happy the Saturday night after A2 when he learned of his penalty docking him 2 positions. However not unlike a Professional Quarterback in the NFL, you have to have short memory when adversity strikes and simply move forward. By Monday morning Jason was at the test track, back on...

X Games Aspen 2014 - Day One / Jan.24.2014

Day One of X Games Aspen couldn't have happened any other way. Just one year after a snowmobiling crash took the life of his brother, Caleb Moore, Colten Moore returned to X Games Snowmobile Freestyle on Friday night and took GOLD. His brother was undoubtedly right by his side the whole ride.

Two-time gold medalist, Dan Brisse, took home silver for his 60-second Real Snow video part. Online voting for Real Snow "Fan Favorite" remains open until Sunday, January 26, a title that Frank April is looking to claim for the second year in a row.
