A new team enters the fold! Monster Energy Supercross will welcome a brand new team H.E.P Motorsports. The team will enter three riders for the 450 SX class, Dustin Pipes, Kyle Cunningham and Henry Miller. They will also be putting forward a rider, Tallon Lafountaine, into the 250 West SX class. They will be receiving manufacturer support from Suszuki.

Dustin Pipes

Team co-owner

"Although we are a new team, we are in no way new to the sport of Supercross. Billy Ezernack is our primary team owner, supporter, and successful farmer in the California central valley who partnered with former motocross champion George Holland and myself to form the core of a well-organised team."

"The H.E.P. group has been on the gas this off-season putting the new RM-Z450 through its paces preparing for Anaheim One. It's great to see a new team in the paddock and we are thrilled to have them as part of the RM Army."

There has been one small setback unfortunately for the team in pre season testing though... Henry Miller crashed hard in training and has sustained a dislocated hip, fractured hip socket and three broken vertebrae. There is currently no timeline for his return but this is a blow for the new team. The remaining three riders are all fit and well and will be on the starting line in January though.

Welcome to Supercross H.E.P Motorsports, best of luck for 2018.
