MXGP regular Brian Bogers will join the British-based Revo team which is making the switch to GasGas for 2024 and 2025 as it returns to GPs. The Dutchman, a former HRC factory rider who won the Belgian GP in 2022 on a Husky, will contest MXHPs and the British championship. He is joined at Revo by Billy Askew who will race EMX250 and British championships, while 18-year-old Ethan Lane will contest MX2 British and world championship rounds. The official info says:
GASGAS is pleased to welcome REVO to the racing fold, under the official team name of REVO GASGAS Racing. Headed up by team owner Mark Yates, co-owner Mark Mackenzie and managed by Sam Yates, the hugely experienced and dedicated team will be getting on the gas after a four-year hiatus from the FIM World Championship, competing in the Dirt Store ACU British Motocross Championship, EMX and MXGP Championships in 2024. The impressive three rider line-up will be piloting a fleet of the latest GASGAS MC 250F and MC 450F machines, with Factory support from Austria ensuring that the team will be primed, pumped and ready for the new season.
Remaining in the REVO camp is the 2023 British MXY2 champion, 16-year-old Billy Askew. Riding a 2024 GASGAS MC 250F, Askew is set to spice up the EMX250 and ACU British MX2 classes in the new season buoyed by his 2023 success. Teammate Ethan Lane will step into the MX2 class in both the World and British Championships. The 18-year-old is well travelled, having raced strongly in the United States over the last few years, and will build on that experience as he takes on this challenge on the REVO GASGAS Racing MC 250F.
Equally eager to GET ON THE GAS, the Brits will share the REVO awning with experienced world championship campaigner and former race winner Brian Bogers. Bogers will line-up behind the gate in both the British Championship and MXGP, joining the big guns aboard the big-hitting GASGAS MC 450F. The experienced 27-year-old Dutchman has a decade of MX2 and MXGP racing muscle memory and is looking forward to a red-hot season in fresh colours and ready to GET ON THE GAS!
