Troy Lee Designs Race Team

TEAM TROY LEE DESIGNS

troy

28 years ago I started custom painting motocross
helmets to help support my racing career. I’ve been
into racing my entire life. All types of racing inspired
me. Motorcycles, cars, bikes — it didn’t matter — I just
lived for it! I still do! Never in a million years would I have
ever thought this passion would allow me to establish a
successful business and work so closely with some of the
greatest athletes and companies out there.
I truly love what I do and try to approach work with as much
energy and fun as possible. Our mission here at Troy Lee
Designs is simple: concept, design, and produce the best
Action Sports protection products and apparel available
while never compromising our brand.
To further bolster and promote our brand in 2003 we were
inspired to start our own race team and it’s all gone very
well. In the past four years, the Troy Lee Designs Honda
Red Bull race team has won the AMA Supermoto National
Championship 3 times as well as three X-Games Gold
Medals in Supercross and Supermoto.-- Troy Lee

At the young age of 20, Chris Blose already has three years of supercross experience on his resume. In 2008 he had three top ten finishes in the west coast lites series and he backed that up with four top ten finishes in the 450 class at the nationals. He will get the chance to showcase his talent this year with the TLD team and it is an opportunity he does not plan to squander.

Moss was born into a dirt bike racing family with father, Greg a successful rider himself and his twin brother, Matt also racing in the Pro Lites category. In 2001, Moss made his Supercross debut in the 85cc and 125cc classes and recorded podium placings at Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Turning pro in 2004 he finished inside the top five, refined his craft before booking his ticket to the US after winning the 2007 Pro Lites MX Nationals title.

Jimmy Albertson #47

Jimmy started his rookie season on the AMA circuit with a goal of racing hard with the best of the best and show what he is capable of. Jimmy’s results were so impressive midway through the AMA MX Nationals that he was rewarded with a ride on the Factory Honda Red Bull Team to finish out the AMA MX Nationals Championship. Jimmy’s sophomore season looks very promising with the momentum he has coming off the 2008 season.

The young Huntington Beach rider spent last summer getting his feet wet in the world of pro racing by attending all of the AMA motocross nationals in his van.
