From 2016, Honda's factory-backed motocross and road racing teams will be managed under the one roofHonda's factory-backed road racing and motocross teams will be steered by the one organisation in 2016.
Melbourne-based tuning and performance workshop Motologic, which has been running Honda's factory road racing effort since 2007 (expect for 2010 when it allied with Ducati for one season), will now expand its operation to also take on the busy motocross and supercross portfolio from Yarrive Konsky.
Motologic boss Paul Free will manage the new mega team.
“I am really looking forward to the new challenges of running both teams," said Free. "I carry a lot of experience in the road sector of racing, so I am very comfortable with where our team is placed there.
"I don’t have a lot of experience in the motocross and supercross arena and understand it is a steep learning curve but I am looking forward to bringing it all together. My goal is to create an off-road team of riders and staff that enjoy working together around the Honda brand as much as my road team currently does. Preparations are well underway and we look forward to the 2016 racing season.”
Meanwhile, Konsky who has taken on a position as General Manager of Commercial and Communications at V8 Supercar team Erebus Motorsport.
