Moving up from the Lites class to the full time 17 rounds in the premier 450 Supercross class is a big step for any racer. Making it a double whammy, Kyle Regal is also going from Privateer Status to a full Factory Sam Manuel L & M Yamaha ride.
Kyle rode a few 450 Supercross rounds last season, when he wasn?t racing in the Supercross East Coast Lites, but it was this summer Kyle really gained momentum on the 450, finishing ninth in the series final standings.
Youthstream, FIM and MSC Teutschenthal announced that the 2013 Motocross of Nations will take place in Teutschenthal, Germany, and all the parties signed the contract during the Grand Prix of Germany this weeekend.
