• CC Rider Signs Antonio Balbi To Race In Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship

    Rolesville, North Carolina - CC Rider signed an agreement
    with Antonio Balbi to compete in all twelve rounds of the Lucas Oil
    Outdoor Motocross Series as their team rider. Balbi will be riding
    Honda's and competing in the 450 class. CC Rider is the title sponsor
    of the team.


    Balbi finished in twelfth place overall in the AMA Outdoor
    Motocross Series in 2008. He holds numerous championship titles in
    Brazil and Latin-America. Most recently he won the 2008 Brazilian
    Supercross Championship in MX1. In 2004, he won the Brazilian
    Supercross Championship in MX1, the Brazilian Outdoors Championship in
    MX1 and the Latin-American Championship in MX2.


    CC Rider is the team known in the Supercross pits for their
    light-blue motorcycles. The team started as a way for Mike Bartholomew
    and Kris Mobley to help out privateers looking to compete with the
    factory teams in professional motocross. The team is very comfortable
    thinking outside of the box and has gained notoriety in a very short
    period of time.



    In response to the strong fan support for the team and the CC Rider
    concept, they have launched a lifestyle apparel company. CC Rider
    recently released its 2009 apparel and some mechanic's gear. The new CC
    Rider product line is available on their web site at www.ccridergear.com


    "We are really excited about working with Antonio Balbi this
    season. Instead of working with a group of riders, we chose to select
    one rider to focus our efforts on in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross
    Championship. Balbi has demonstrated that he can run with the top
    riders and he embodies what we stand for at CC Rider. He understands
    the concept of Branded Not To Quit. We are looking forward to a very
    successful season," stated Mike Bartholomew, co-owner of the team and
    company.


    "I am pleased to be riding for the CC Rider team this season. The
    program they put together is solid and has what I need to be able to
    show up at the races and do my job. I have been training hard and my
    lap times are the best they have been. I am looking forward to posting
    strong results this season and doing my part to grow the CC Rider
    program," commented Antonio Balbi.


    The team's first race is this weekend at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California on May 23, 2009.
