Los Angeles, CA - JT Racing is proud to announce its sponsorship of the MotoConcepts race team! Supercross racers Mike Alessi, Jeff Alessi, Tommy Weeck, Jake Canada and Vince Friese are ready to kick off the 2012 AMA Supercross season decked out in JT Racing gear. The official MotoConcepts/JT Racing gear will break cover on Monday, December 12 at Milestone MX where all five racers will take to the track and debut the gear for industry press.
"For the first time since the mid '90's, JT Racing will be back in Supercross stadiums," commented JT Racing CEO David Dray. "We are thrilled to put our support behind riders like the Alessis and the entire MotoConcepts team. It's a great showcase for the retro style and modern innovation that are bringing the JT brand back into the spotlight."
JT Racing was not only the dominant gear brand of the 70's and 80's, but also the originators of the very idea of dedicated motocross gear. The company has now risen from a decade-long hibernation, and is poised to re-emerge as a premier brand in motocross and off-road. The Alessi's, Weeck, Canada and Friese will show off the latest from the iconic brand on Monday at Milestone MX. Look for photos next week of all five racers in the MotoConcepts/JT Racing Pro-Tour MX Jersey, high-tech Classick ALS MX Pant, performance gloves and ALS-O2 Helmet.

Please tell me the Dec 12 debut gear looks better than the retro JT gear we have been seeing so far.
Seeing 800 in something other than AStars will be interesting.
JT racing gear was THE best gear of the 80s. I used to save up my school dinner money just to be able to go buy one of those JT mouth traps, half mask and really cool peaks. I was all of my hero's in that gear, Reckon it made me ride better too.
Friese is back? WOW!!
OH NO Alessi dont give up the Astars. Thats the best looking gear ever
find the all new JT Racing Gear and other vintage MX merchandise at http://www.eastcoastvintagemx.com
would have never thought Alessi would leave Astars. big change for sure.
looking forward to seeing what tommy weeck can do this year!
Hopefully Tommy, Vince, and Jeff will be the type of ambassadors JT needs to promote thier products. We all know MA800 isn't. With his reputation I find it hard to believe they would even let him wear thier stuff let alone support him! JMO
