The Troy Lee Designs race team is officially making a bike switch – moving from Hondas to KTMs in 2015 and beyond. Going forward, the team will now be known as the Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Red Bull/KTM team. The move now allows the TLD team to ultimately become factory KTM’s satellite 250 Class operation, as well as part of the Orange Brigade feeder system. (Previously, TLD was one of two Honda teams in the 250 Class, with GEICO Honda being the primary one.) -- Murrieta, CA - Troy Lee Designs (TLD) announces a multi-year deal with KTM Motorsports which will see the Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Red Bull / KTM team riders compete in both the 2015 AMA Supercross Series as well as the 2015 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship aboard Red Bull / KTM supported motorcycles. Structured as a multi-year alliance, the cooperative effort will include both the factory supported Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Red Bull / KTM race team in addition to creating a newly defined infrastructure that will partner the successful KTM initiated Orange Brigade amateur program into the TLD operation. The mission of the initiative will be to create a world class structure which will bring talented young motocross racers into the KTM program, and in doing so, provide them with all of the technical assistance and professional guidance needed to help them achieve their goals in the sport, be they amateur national titles or AMA Pro Racing Number One plates. http://www.promotocross.com/mx/news/troy-lee-designs-team-switching-ktms-2015
