The GEICO Powersports Honda motocross team approaches the 2010 season confident in the team's depth of talent, which includes emerging young stars as well as seasoned pros. Started by Factory Connection Racing partners Rick Zielfelder and Jeffrey Majkrzak, the team has grown to become one of the premier racing organizations in AMA Supercross and Motocross.

The GEICO Powersports- and Honda-sponsored team is fielding a talent-laden five-rider squad in 2010. One of the big changes for 2010 is the appointment of legendary racer—and original team rider—Mike LaRocco as Team Manager. LaRocco's knowledge and experience will lend a whole new perspective to the team, and help provide the young guns with valuable mentoring that's sure to steepen their learning curves.

Kevin Windham—a 16-year veteran pro racer—is back in 2010 and will also apply his unique race-craft perspective to the nurturing of young team riders. Windham, who has shown year after year he has what it takes to run up front (he finished second in the Supercross series in 2008), leads the high-powered squad in Supercross competition aboard Honda's mighty CRF450R.

2008 Supercross Lites champ Trey Canard leads a strong four-man Lites assault in the 250 class, where all riders will compete aboard Honda's all-new CRF250R. Brett Metcalfe, who finished third overall in the 2009 AMA Motocross Lites Series, returns for his second season with the team. After an exciting first season of pro Supercross and Motocross Lites racing, Blake Wharton returns as a more seasoned and confident racer thanks to his impressive St. Louis Supercross Lites win. Also returning is last year's Motocross Lites rookie sensation Justin Barcia, who made his professional Motocross debut for the team at Glen Helen and went on to pick up nine top-10 finishes in the series, including an overall race win at Southwick.

Rarely does a factory-supported satellite team ever assemble a more exciting combination of fresh, emerging talent pooled with an all-new race machine—the 2010 Honda CRF250R—and such seasoned professionals as LaRocco and Windham. Be on the lookout for impressive results from the GEICO Powersports Honda team all year long.
