In a major coup for the Maxxis British Championship - and for the Maxxis Kawasaki Racing Partnership sponsored LPE team’s, team owner, Steve James - one of Europe’s premier motocross riders, Tanel Leok, has been signed with the Lincs based team for the 2015 season.
The highly regarded Estonian will be riding the Kawasaki KX450F fitted with Maxxis ultra competitive Maxxcross tyres in the MX1 class of the Maxxis British Championship, picking up where he left off in 2012. Naturally there are high expectations for the 29 year old rider.
Partnering Tanel in the MX1 class will be fan favourite – and former Team Green youth rider, Jamie Law, who switches for the coming season to the Maxxis and Kawasaki supported team. Also riding outdoors will be Ben James piloting the KX250F in the MXY2 class and looking to build on recent successes at this level.
As if this superb squad of outdoor riders were not exciting enough, the dynamic duo of Fabien Izoird and Loic Rombaut have confirmed they will be riding under the LPE banner in the 2015 indoor Arenacross series starting in January. They will be joined by another new signing, Jimmy Margetson, who will compete in the Rookies class.
Frenchman Fabien won the 2014 title and LPE also won the team title with Maxxis tyres fitted to their Arenacross machines, so they justifiably go into next year’s series as firm favourites.
