Nate Thrasher To Make Pro Debut at Thunder Valley

This Nate Thrasher to Star Racing Yamaha deal has developed quickly.

Let’s recap this. Prior to Spring Creek, TLD/Red Bull KTM teased a guest rider. It was later announced that it would be Thrasher. THEN, the post was taken down and rumors of an unofficial trade between TLD (Gas Gas in 2021) and Star Yamaha was underway. This “trade” would have Thrasher to Star (now official) and Justin Barcia to Gas Gas (not official).

*Deep breath*

Thrasher then posted that he had officially signed with Star. Today, Yamaha confirmed that Thrasher will make his pro debut this weekend at Thunder Valley.

Thrasher won two Supermini titles at Loretta’s in 2018 and finished second in 250 B (won two motos) and Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C this past year.
