Team Motul Suzuki has confirmed the line-up of defending
champion Matt Moss alongside Lawson Bopping when the 2014
Australian Supercross Championship commences today at Bathurst
Showgrounds in New South Wales.
Rounds one and two of the series will take place in Bathurst
during the iconic V8 Supercars Bathurst 1000 weekend, hosted on
Friday (round one) and Saturday (round two) evenings to commence
the new supercross season.
Moss has been in phenomenal form again in 2014, recently
clinching his second consecutive MX Nationals title and now looking
to repeat in supercross on board the brand new 2015 Suzuki
RM-Z450.
"I'm loving the 2015 Suzuki RM-Z450 and I just feel really
comfortable riding supercross on the bike," Moss said. "After the
MX Nationals we represented Australia in the Motocross of Nations
and that was a great experience, so it's nice now to focus on
supercross and go after another championship."
Bopping returns to the factory Team Motul Suzuki outfit for
supercross following a number of glowing performances on the
RM-Z450 in the United States earlier this year, excited to gain the
opportunity to compete on the revamped 2015 model.
"It's really great to rejoin Team Motul Suzuki and I'm excited
Jay Foreman has given me the opportunity to ride alongside Matt,"
Bopping commented. "It's good to be back on the Suzuki and I have
had one all along at home this year, so it was a pretty
straightforward transition for supercross.
"The 2015 model is such an awesome bike to ride and I'm really
enjoying every lap I do on it. The bike is great, the team is
obviously extremely good, so I am just excited to get racing.
Hopefully I can deliver strong results during the season."
Team Motul Suzuki manager Jay Foreman said the combination of
Moss and Bopping is a formidable one that will be a force when the
gates drop later on this evening and throughout the five-round
season.
"We're all really happy with the 2015 Suzuki RM-Z450 and it's
certainly an improved package," Foreman explained. "The motors are
strong, the chassis are handling great and it's all working well as
a combination with the riders. Both guys look really solid, so we
are excited to start the season this weekend."
