Joey Savatgy Fortifies TLD Ducati Lineup with Multi-Year Deal

“I am very excited for this change and honored for this opportunity,” said Savatgy. “I had a good year, and to have a factory team look in my direction and reach out is rewarding. Considering the last few years haven’t been the greatest for me, I think we showed a lot this year and proved that, with the right team around me, we’re able to achieve good results. “To be back on a factory team is exciting, and I think the resources we have are a huge advantage. There are a lot of doors we can open, things we can experiment with, and opportunities to find what works best. I’m excited to get the ball rolling, have a full offseason boot camp, so to speak, and get to know everybody on the team. It’s going to be a good year.” Team Manager Josh welcomed Savatgy to the program, highlighting the value of his experience and the opportunities that come with a multi-year partnership. “We are very excited to welcome Joey to the team. He has demonstrated proven results in the 450 class, showcasing impressive speed, strength, and consistency in Supercross last season. We look forward to providing Joey with a comprehensive racing program that allows him to compete throughout the entire Supercross, Pro Motocross, and SMX seasons. “Having Joey and RJ both committed to multi-year deals is a significant step forward for our program. The opportunity to work with both riders over multiple seasons will allow us to better understand their individual strengths, abilities, and needs, while continuing to develop the program and build on our progress heading into year two. “With our two-rider lineup now complete, we are excited about what lies ahead. Our focus is on building a strong foundation, continuing to make progress, and positioning the team for success over the next several years.” Savatgy will prepare for the upcoming season as he begins his work with the team and prepares for a full campaign across Supercross, Pro Motocross, and SMX. With an experienced rider joining an established development-focused program, Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing looks forward to building on its progress and continuing to establish itself as a competitor in the premier class.
