IceOne exchanges Fox for Yoko!
After one year in Fox clothing, IceOne Racing, the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MXGP team, is taking a different tack. From this season until the end of 2021, the riders will compete in Yoko clothing.
Last weekend, Arminas Jasikonis and Mikkel Haarup arrived in Ottobiano wearing Yoko equipment. The Finnish manufacturer will provide the IceOne team with racing and team clothing. This year, Arminas Jasikonis, 2017 MX2 World Champion Pauls Jonass Mikkel Haarup will compete for Kimi Raikkonen's team.
Also in 2011, the first year in their existence and at the time on Kawasaki, the IceOne team already rode in Yoko clothing.
Antti Pyrhönen, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MXGP team manager: “We are delighted to welcome YOKO as our official equipment and apparel partner for the next three years. YOKO has a rich history in motocross at the highest level. We are therefore very happy to be part of their strong comeback in the Motocross World Championship. Their goal is to provide the best technical equipment on the market and we are happy to have a partner who sets the bar high. Now that our riders can enjoy the very best equipment from YOKO, we trust this will help them continue to perform at their best, whatever the conditions.”
Jan Berthels, President of Yoko Europe: “For everyone at YOKO, it is a great honor to support the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MXGP team. Just as we begin a new chapter in our commitment to top-level international motocross. Over the past few years we have put a lot of effort into developing our next generation of equipment for riders with the main goal of reaffirming ourselves as one of the best motocross brands in the world. We are confident that our close collaboration with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MXGP team will help us further develop our products so that they continue to meet the highest demands of both motocross amateurs and top level riders around the world. “
