CycleTrader.com/Rock River Yamaha is excited to announce the addition of Kellian “Killy” Rusk to the team for the 2015 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Series. The Colorado native will compete in the 450 MX Class beside his 250 MX teammates Alex Martin and Luke Renzland, while both Josh Hill and Gregory Gehrer remain sidelined with injuries. 2014 was Rusk’s first year racing the full Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross series in the 450 MX Class and he finished 19th Overall. He additionally won the Ricky Carmichael Hard Charger Award at the Indiana National and turned heads all summer with his consistent performances.
“The addition of Kellian to the team has been really exciting for us. We really wanted to give someone an opportunity to concentrate on their riding and let us do the rest. To us, it wasn’t about having the biggest name under the canopy, but about finding someone that fits the team best; and Killy just seemed to be that guy. The philosophy has worked in the past; I look at what Alex Martin has been able to do since joining us back in 2013. The possibilities are endless, and we’ll see come May 16th at Hangtown.” – Christina Denney, CycleTrader.com/Rock River Yamaha Team Manager.
“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity everyone at CycleTrader.com/Rock River Yamaha is giving me. I’m really excited and ready to get the best finishes of my career this outdoor season.” – Kellian Rusk
The entire team is proud to add such a hardworking rider to the roster and look forward to the start of the season at Hangtown MX in Sacramento, California on May 16th.
