Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing Announces 2024 Team
Cycle News Staff | December 18, 2023
The Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing Team breaks cover just shy of the 2024 SuperMotocross series with their official team announcement. Technically this was revealed earlier in the year when GasGas announced their new Moto 1 E-Bike, but this is the first time we’ve seen the complete team in gear and with their official team graphics. Don’t forget Jorge Prado is also set to run the first three rounds of Supercross under the TLD tent.
Justin Barcia leads the team again in 2024 and is the sole 450 rider. Last year Barcia showed a resurgence in speed and won the East Rutherford Supercross. Unfortunately he later crashed out at the Nashville Supercross before and finished fifth in overall points. He’s back aboard the updated MC 450F.
Pierce Brown also returns to the team for the 2024 racing season. The number-39 finished a season-best fourth at the Glendale Supercross and enters this year healthy and rejuvenated.
Ryder Difrancesco is the teams newest addition for 2024. After being a lifelong Team Green rider, ’24 marks the first year we’ll see Ryder D aboard an Austrian machine. He’s also sporting a new number as he’ll wear number 34 in the upcoming season.
