Blose signs with Penrite Honda, Metcalfe focused on final three rounds of Motocross

Penrite Honda Racing press release:

Penrite Honda starts preparing for Supercross whilst maintaining their focus on the remaining rounds of Motocross.
The Penrite Factory Honda Team have signed 2017 Aus-X-Open winner Chris Blose to race the up and coming Australian Supercross Championship.

Chris Blose is coming off a successful AMA Supercross campaign where he finished ninth overall, with his best round finish was a fifth place.

“2019 was mostly positive for me, I achieved 7 top 10 finishes and finished as high as 5th. I felt strong at most rounds and as the championship went on, I got more confident. Our results were great against the factory teams”.

Blose is no stranger to Australia having competed here several times and is looking forward to chasing a championship win down under.

“The Honda Australia Factory program is a professional and successful team and I am sure we will be competitive. I have raced the current CRF250R and am confident we have a strong package, there are going to be several contenders and I can’t wait for the championship to start,” concluded Blose.

Honda’s Australian Factory Team are very appreciative of the support they have received from American Honda. Team director, Yarrive Konsky, acknowledges that the team’s success would have been difficult without it.
“American Honda has been fantastic with Brayton and the like and we couldn’t do this without their ongoing support,” Yarrive continued.

“Whilst we are preparing for Supercross we can’t take our focus off Motocross. We believe Brett is capable of winning and we are in the pursuit of an overall win. We have regrouped following Maitland and devised a plan to be better prepared for the final three rounds.”

Penrite Factory Honda is now focused on Moree for the penultimate round of the MX Nationals.
