Gas Gas Pacific and Team Fracy are proud to introduce the Gas Gas Pacific 2015 Pro Trial Team—Canada’s first-ever Pro Trial Team. The five-rider team will consist of two pro riders and three support riders.
The first pro rider anchoring the team has been the No. 1 trials rider in Canada for the last two years, Thomas Cordner from Victoria, B.C., At 25 years old, Cordner is just hitting his prime and will be defending his title in 2015, aboard his Gas Gas Pacific 300 Factory Replica. Cordner’s hard work and dedication is what had led him to achieve so much in this sport.
The second pro rider on the team is Matt Fracy, who was ranked as high as No. 3 before taking some time away from the sport last season. At only 18 years old, Fracy plans to continue where he left off, pushing Cordner for that No. 1 spot. Fracy will be riding a 2015 Gas Gas Pacific 300 Racing next season. Although he has been taking a couple of months off, Fracy’s determination to win has not lessened, and he looks forward to bettering himself in the sport.
The support team will be anchored by long-time top expert rider Andrew Watson from Metchosin, B.C. His consistent top-level riding will serve as a tough benchmark to achieve for the other support riders. Watson also brings to the team a vast knowledge of the mechanics of the Gas Gas machines that will prove invaluable. Watson will be riding a 2015 Gas Gas Pacific 280 Factory Replica.
Next up is 15-year-old Riley Ferguson from Shawnigan Lake, B.C. Ferguson has made huge improvements in his riding and will continue to grow under the coaching of Team Manager Steve Fracy. Ferguson will be riding a 2015 Gas Gas Pacific 250 Racing model and he hopes to move up to the Expert Class.
The team’s last rider is 15-year-old Brandon Volk from Metchosin, B.C. Volk has been riding a motorcycle for only three years, but he has quickly improved and caught the eye of everyone. He is now riding at an Expert level and will begin riding the Expert class in the 2015 season, and all of this only on a 125-cc bike. Volk will also receive intense coaching and mentoring as he works on his physical and mental riding skills. Volk will make the jump to a 2015 Gas Gas Pacific 250 Racing for the next season.
The Gas Gas Pacific 2015 Pro Trial Team’s mission for 2015 is to display its brands, riders and entire team procedure in a very friendly and professional manner. And, at the same time, push 100 per cent to achieve the results for the team’s riders!
The team claims it will have the very best machinery in Canada, be professional, have the most fun out of anyone and achieve winning results.
