Hi Steemers,
So following on from my earlier post about Benny Bloss's torn ACL Steemit | Busy it seems that someones bad luck always ends up as another ones good.
Mountain ATV/MC – KTM – WPS have announced that ex JGR Factory rider Justin Bogle has been drafted in to replace Bloss for the entire 2019 Supercross season. This means the Mountain ATV/MC – KTM – WPS team is going to be quite the force to be reckoned with as alongside Bogle will be the teams star rider Blake Baggett.

"As much as it hurts to watch Benny go down, we are a race team and we were very fortunate to get the opportunity to have Justin come in to join the team for the entire SX series. Justin has been a rider I have always been a fan of; I believe has incredible 450 bike skills and I look forward to seeing what we can build over the course of the season"
Bogle is a very good starter and if he can put that Factory 450 SXF up front i think he will shock a few of the more seasoned riders. If you guys can remember the last few rounds of the outdoors he was riding with an arm injury and was leading the races until his injury forced him to back off a bit.

"I am really humbled by the opportunity to be able to join the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC – KTM – WPS team. I know it's last minute and it's been a bit of a roller coaster the last couple of weeks, but I really couldn't be more excited for this opportunity. This team is more than proven, the KTM is arguably the best bike out there and I am again just really excited to throw my leg over the bike and get to work in the coming days. Thank you to all of the sponsors of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC – KTM – WPS team for having me join the team. I also want to give a special thanks to all of my personal sponsors for being supportive of me taking this opportunity. I truly thank everyone of you, as well as wish Benny a speedy recovery. Now it's time to go racing!"
As always, it's never nice to see a rider go down but on the upside a very talented and dedicated rider will get the factory support they were desperately hoping for. Good luck for 2019 mate and let's see what you can do on an orange bike!
