We are proud to have him as part of our family, and looking forward to sharing in his achievements."

“I am really excited to get the opportunity to work with the Traders Racing team for the 2017 season", exclaimed Renzland. "My body has healed and I have been working very hard this off season to be 100% ready for the upcoming year. With the staff that they have in place, it feels like it will be easy for me to build a strong bond with this team, and from what I can tell from my first couple of days on the bike, I believe the stage has been set for me to have a breakout season.  This team has a great energy, and they are determined to help me achieve my goals."

Nick Gaines, In his third year with Traders/Kawasaki Team, has a new focus and determination. “My season did not start the way I thought it would (Nick fractured his femur while testing prior to the start of the SX season), that is for sure. But the team believed in me, that meant so much.  I have a lot to prove to myself and to show the team that together we can do this." Nick concluded, "It will be great to have Luke on the team, we have a great friendship that goes back to our minicycle days.”

Director of Racing, Skip Norfolk is looking forward to the season. “We are confident that both riders will achieve their personal best this year.  They have gained valuable experience over the past couple of seasons, and their growth both on and off the track is evident. The 250 class demands the best efforts from everyone involved.  We have no doubt that both Nick and Luke are up to that challenge.”
