Amateur motocross star Chris Alldredge turns professional under the watchful eye of Mitch Payton and the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team.
The following is from Kawasaki Motors Corp., USA:
Irvine, Calif. (August 5, 2014) – Following a successful final year competing against the top amateur riders in the nation, Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Chris Alldredge will make the transition to the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki squad for the remainder of the 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. Alldredge has been the top rider in the A class this season, collecting wins and championships at all of the major amateur national championships.
“I’m so honored to have this opportunity with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki,” Alldredge said. “I was welcomed into the Team Green family this year and feel like I’ve really found a home. Working closely with Pro Circuit this year, I knew that’s where I wanted to be, and I am really excited to work with the best in the business.”
Alldredge’s success with Team Green gained Pro Circuit owner Mitch Payton’s attention, and he knew he wanted to keep Alldredge with Kawasaki. Alldredge joins a long list of amateurs to graduate from Team Green on to the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team, such as Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto, Dean Wilson, Adam Cianciarulo and Justin Hill.
“Alldredge has really shown a lot of promise,” Payton said. “He has all the key elements to transition into his pro career and be a player from the get-go. He knows the equipment, and we expect him to pick up in the 250 class where he left off as an amateur.”
Alldredge will make his professional debut with the team at Unadilla in New Berlin, New York on August 9, running the number 188 on his 2015 KX250F.
