SERCO YAMAHA REVEAL 2012 LIVERY

Serco Motorsport has been the official Pro Lites Yamaha factory team for the past 10 years and in that time has achieved remarkable success. 2011 saw the team, with Kirk Gibbs as lead rider, come a very close second in the Pro Lites championship, but the bar has been raised for 2012 and the team is shooting for the top step of the podium. Gibbs returns for his fourth consecutive year with Serco in a relationship that continues to grow, and will be joined in the new look squad by Luke Styke.

Team owner Gavin Eales feels he has a strong chance at success in 2012 and backs his riders and technical staff to get the job done this season.

"We were close to a championship last year but that's not good enough so during the off season myself and Michael Marty (Crew Chief) sat down and really tried to fine tune everything on the team. From the bikes, to the riders, the products we use and everyone's role within it. It was a full team review and I believe
we are a better team because of it and I look forward to seeing the guys in action," Eales states.

"We are also excited about our new relationship with Metal Mulisha and our continued relationship with Yoshimura. The team will wear Metal Mulisha clothing off the track and the riders will showcase their range of racing gear on it and I'm sure we will stand out from the crowd."

Metal Mulisha founder and FMX pioneer, Brain Deegan also commented on the new arrangement. "My background is racing so for me to be able to sponsor a team has always been a goal of mine! I am looking forward to tearing up the scene down under."

The Serco Motorsport/Yamaha relationship is now in its 11th year and both parties continue to strive for success.

"Gavin, Michael and the Serco team have done a great job representing Yamaha and the YZ250F in the Pro Lites class in Australia," states Yamaha motorsport Manager, Ray Howard. "They have put in plenty of work throughout the off season and worked closely with Yamaha to get the best from the bikes and together we
expect another successful campaign in 2012."
