Arenacross Tour Adam Chatfield
Adam Chatfield and Ashley Greedy are the first signings to the new Fro Systems Elite team contesting the 2017 Monster Energy Arenacross Tour.
Brazil-based Chatfield, the first-ever AX champion in 2013, finished this year's tour in third after taking victory at the final round in London. He will be the lead rider for Mark McCann's team with wild Welshman Greedy as No.2.
"I'm really happy to be part of the new FRO team,” said 29-year-old Chatfield. "I've known Mark for a few years now and I know when he does something he does it right. We will have a great set-up and I'm ready to start off where I finished last year – on top.
"It's great that a new team will be on the AX circuit and I trust Mark to put everything in place around me so that I can go out and get the job done.”
McCann's looking forward to working with the rapid redhead.
"Adam will be racing in Brazil until November and then testing at our private facility,” he said.
"We have worked on and off with him since he was about 14 and we're really excited to be working with him at this level.
"He's a home rider who has the ability to win.
"We have talked about this for years and are pleased it has finally happened.
Of utmost importance to us as a team is to run British riders in our British team and we're also happy to welcome Ashley, one of FRO's longest running athletes, to the fold. We're going to have a lot of fun.”
Matt Bates, boss of series promoter e22Sports, welcomed the new team to the indoor championship.
"Mark and I have been speaking for some years now about Fro Systems entering a team and I'm so pleased that eventually we'll be seeing yet another arenacross-only team line up for the first event on January 7 in Manchester.
"It proves that the media coverage and sponsorship exposure that the series offers is the best in the UK and with the forthcoming announcement of television coverage, arenacross really is an amazing place to promote motocross.
"We all wish the Fro Systems race team every success.”
