Paulin & Bobryshev rocking red

Don’t let the excitement of the champions Antonio Cairoli and Ryan Villopoto shadow the speed of some of the other contenders, for if you do, there is no doubt you will be in for a rude awakening come Qatar.

A couple of the guys who are on the radar to shake things up this season are Team HRC’s Gautier Paulin and Evgeny Bobryshev. Paulin in particular has proved he’s on the pipe and can’t be counted out, especially after his unforgettable performance at the 2014 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations where he creamed the field to take his nation, Team France, to victory. Also don't forget he was in fact MXGP of Qatar winner last year.

As for Bobby, he’s had a long run of injuries but has proved on a number of occasions he can run the pace. So it will be interesting to see what these boys have got up their sleeves when the gates drop at round one.

In the meantime, the duo are out in Sardinia where they are preparing for their first pre-MXGP race, round one of the Italian Championship. While out there, the team also arranged a photoshoot and have released some super rad pics of their riders rocking the 2015 set up! Click HERE to view all images.
