Kawasaki Australia has launched an all-new development program, the ‘KX Junior Squad’, for the 2014 season.

The seven-rider team will compete across Australia in the motocross and off-road disciplines.

Mitch Brierley, Josh Brierley, Morgan Fogarty, Grace Rowe (pictured), Joshua Livsey and Heaton Rejtano will all receive support from Kawasaki in 2014 as they compete on board the KX85, while Lyndon Snodgrass will fly the flag on a KX250F.

“We are very excited about working together with these seven young talented riders in 2014 and beyond,” Kawasaki Australia managing director Ken Hashiba commented.

“The Kawasaki brand is renowned for fostering young talent around the world with the Team Green program in the USA kick-starting the careers of highly successful riders like Ryan Villopoto, Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, James Stewart and many more.

“We look forward to helping our own Junior Squad in Australia realise their potential.”
