“The team is very excited that the opportunity has been presented to us,” said Team Manager, Dave Gowland. “We didn't even realize that Jessica didn't have a ride and we were really quite surprised. Once we had a chance to speak we became very excited – not just me but the entire team. I think this really rounds out our efforts and we look forward to Jessica competing on our bike and being apart of team for the rest of the season and beyond.”

It's always good to see racers get hooked up with rides, and especially to keep women's mx growing. That being said, I saw Tarah Gieger throwing down some hardcore motos in the FL heat last week and was super impressed. I'm really looking fwd to watching the girls duel it out this summer (and, hopefully, see Tarah keep Jessica in her roost!).

Tells you how much the "guys" in the sport follow the wmx. The team manager for the team she signed with didn't know she hadn't signed with anyone....even though Racer X and others have reported it many times.
