The newly liveried RM-Z450 was unveiled last week at the 92nd Brussels Auto & Moto Show in Belgium by team rider Clement Desalle who then debuted the new Factory colours on track at Leida.Team mate Kevin Strijbos, who is recovering from a recent practice injury, sat it out.

Desalle, who is now in his fifth season with the Suzuki squad and World #2, has now virtually fully recovered from his end-of-season Motocross of Nations injury. He is currently training hard for the opening round of the MXGP season at Qatar on March 1st.

Strijbos is still recuperating from a pelvis injury he picked-up after a training crash in Belgium, but recent medical examinations revealed that the injury is healing well and his doctor has now given the all-clear to start training.

The first official event on the Rockstar Energy Suzuki’s schedule is the Le Touquet Beach Race in France on February 8-9th with former World Motocross Champion Steve Ramon. Desalle and Strijbos will participate at the Valence and Lacapelle-Marival Internationals the following weekends.
