Kenny Gilbert to Husqvarna<br />
“As of the 31st of December 2015, my journey on board<br />
the Bidvest Yamaha racing team has ended. A few years<br />
ago, I joined the team as a young ambitious athlete<br />
and with the support of Yamaha, I managed to clinch 3<br />
consecutive National Titles. Their support was incredible,<br />
but that being said, it is time for me to take a new<br />
exciting step in my Career.<br />
I am honored to announce that I have signed with Kargo<br />
Husqvarna , and that with the support of our incredible<br />
sponsors, we are ready to take on 2016 with my number<br />
one plate and contend for some more championships!<br />
I will be competing in both the National Offroads,<br />
National Enduro’s, some local races, and a few<br />
selected international events.”<br />

Altus De Wet<br />
to Yamaha<br />
“I would like to start by giving a<br />
big thanks to Ben Du Toit and<br />
Hanlie Du Toit from Toyscom<br />
and Sherco for all their support<br />
in 2015. They are good people<br />
and I think we achieved a lot in<br />
a short time.”<br />
Due to other commitments,<br />
Sherco can not support me<br />
anymore for 2016.<br />
So for 2016 I’ll be joining<br />
forces with Yamaha.<br />
In the last two days Peter<br />
Wilkins from Yamaha has<br />
really gone out of his way<br />
to try help me for 2016.<br />
I can only thank Yamaha<br />
for believing in me and<br />
giving me this chance.<br />
I will still run as ALTiE<br />
in Altus de Wet Racing<br />
together with all my very<br />
loyal sponsors Cargo<br />
Tac, RIC, UMSO, Rock<br />
oil, Leatt, Buffalo Toyota<br />
and JT racing. I am<br />
very grateful to have<br />
such good friends and<br />
sponsors that back me no<br />
matter what.<br />
For 2016 I will focus more<br />
on SA races again including<br />
Romaniacs and possibly six<br />
days.<br />
I will also make an appearance<br />
at National off roads again for<br />
some fun.<br />
ALTiE wants to extend the<br />
riding school side too and start<br />
giving back to up and coming<br />
riders.<br />
Thanks for all the support from<br />
everyone involved and see you<br />
guys for some fun at the races!<br />
Dungey extends points lead<br />
Ryan Dungey picked up his second-consecutive 450SX Main Event<br />
win Saturday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim after passing Davi<br />
Millsaps early on in the race.<br />
In doing so, Dungey has extended his points lead and is already<br />
establishing himself as the man to beat after just 3 of 17 rounds. He<br />
has finished on the podium in the last 18 450SX Mains.<br />
Behind Dungey at the line were Chad Reed and Ken Roczen, Roczen<br />
taking third on the <strong>final</strong> lap after Eli Tomac fell from that position.<br />
250 SX: Cooper Webb Wins - Anaheim 2 - 2016<br />
In the 250SX Main, Cooper Webb took his third victory of the season<br />
and his seventh consecutive win – but not without some competition.<br />
As he has often this season, Webb got off to a poor start at the<br />
beginning of the Main. He had, however, been able to work his way<br />
up into third position by the time that Joey Savatgy – who had been<br />
running in second – made a mistake and went down. Webb then<br />
found himself by Christian Craig, the rider who had won their heat<br />
race at the start of the night.<br />
Turn-after-turn, Craig and Webb traded the lead for multiple laps until<br />
Webb <strong>final</strong>ly emerged triumphant, while Zach Osborne and Craig<br />
rounded out the podium.<br />
