Well, look at that, Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha has added a 97th rider to their team for the 2021 season.
Malcom Stewart announced on Instagram that he has signed with the team. Stewart spent the last two years with MotoConcepts.
“I’m really excited to join the team. I know a lot of the guys from when I was around the team back in 2011,” Stewart said. “Gareth Swanepoel is my trainer and he works with their guys, plus I have a few buddies there. So, it isn’t a big change for me. It just kind of adds another piece to the puzzle.
“I’m definitely happy. The team has had a lot of success and has dominated the 250 class. They have a phenomenal setup and to be a part of their first year in the 450 class, it makes it more exciting for all of us. I feel like we have some good heavy hitters. Myself, Dylan Ferrandis, and Aaron Plessinger, every single one of us has won a 250 title. It should be a really good year. It’s only Supercross right now, but hopefully it goes well, and we can turn it into something in the future.”
Star, which is taking over the factory 450 effort for Yamaha, has already signed Dylan Ferrandis. Aaron Plessinger also returns for another year.
Jeremy Martin, Christian Craig, Colt Nichols, Justin Cooper and Jarrett Frye will race the 250 Class for the team.
