The Kawasaki Racing Team continued their build-up to the 2022 MXGP season with a studio shoot for team members at their workshops in Lommel on 8 February.
With Romain Febvre making progress in his bid to regain full fitness and Ben Watson buoyed by an overall podium performance at the Lacapelle Marival, the riders and entire team staff met for the first time wearing their new Kawasaki apparel while making the final logistic arrangements to cross the water from Europe to the UK for the final pre-season event at Hawkstone Park. This will be followed by the first FIM Motocross World Championship round of 2022 at Matterley Basin for the MXGP of Great Britain.
"We are really starting to create a formidable team spirit in these past weeks since the official announcements was made," commented, Team Manager, Antti Pyrhonen.
"Now all team members have their apparel, and we are seeing Romain and Ben make individual progress. We are really looking forward to meeting the Kawasaki fans at Hawkstone Park and adding the final pieces to the preparation jig-saw before we enter the paddock at Matterley Basin for the first time as an official Kawasaki factory team.
"We know its a big responsibility but there is a real sense of anticipation and optimism right across the team and we are all relishing the challenge."
