Husqvarna Red Bull team goes global with WIL Sport

Mangakinos Kayne Lamont is going from strength to strength.

Fresh from his sensational MX2 (250cc) class win at the 53rd annual New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville just over a week ago, Lamonts Husqvarna Red Bull New Zealand Race Team is thrilled to report they have secured an additional high-profile sponsor.

Internationally-recognised Kiwi company WIL Sport Management Limited, owned by West Aucklands Phil and Cheryl London, has signed on to support the motocross race team, a further diversification of the assistance they already offer New Zealand sporting endeavours, after previously supporting Kiwi motorcycle road-race heroes overseas such as Orewas Avalon Biddle, Rangioras Jake Lewis and West Aucklands Connor London.

WIL Sport Management already backs Kiwi athletes in sports as diverse as ice hockey, gymnastics, netball and diving, for example.

"We will receive massive support with our travel expenses from WIL Sport Management," said Husqvarna Red Bull New Zealand Race Team manager Stu Lamont.

"Im over the moon about it. It takes a lot of pressure off me and the team. It is a real boost for the team," he said.

The race team is on the road this week and heading to the first of four rounds in the New Zealand Motocross Championships near Timaru on Saturday, with rounds to follow in Tokoroa, Pukekohe and Taupo. The team then packs up and heads across the Tasman to race the 10-round Australian Motocross Championships as well, starting in March.

"We will undergo some re-branding in the next week or so, and should have updated graphics on the bike before round two (of the New Zealand series) in two weeks time," said Lamont.

"The team has amazing support from all its sponsors and we cant think enough individuals like Workshop Graphics owner Darryl Blom, Patrick Stafford of Husqvarna New Zealand, Red Bulls Brendan Thomas and Reece McLeod from and Fox and Shift apparel. They have been awesome for us."

From the WIL Sport Management perspective, the new arrangement fits in well with their strategies.
