Italian team, Honda NILS has been named as the 10th and final team competing in the 2022 FIM World Supercross Championship.
The team will announce its four riders in the coming weeks as it prepares for the Global WSX Championship kicking off on Saturday, October 8th in Cardiff, Wales at Principality Stadium.
Honda NILS will be managed by former 2008 and 2016 FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship Livia Lancelot who since retiring has worked as a Team Manager in the MX2 class of the MXGP World Championship scoring multiple podiums and wins. The 34-year-old now becomes the most decorated female Team Manager in major Supercross anywhere in the world.
“We are excited to get to work and believe we will make a strong showing during the pilot FIM World Supercross Championship season,” said Lancelot. “Our ‘offseason’ is only a few weeks, so we are quickly working to get riders and crew members under contract, and bikes ready to race, all while tackling the logistics a global series requires. It’s a great challenge, and we are ready to face it.”
“We are incredibly excited to have Honda NILS join us on our journey. Our pilot season boasts strong teams from the US, France and Australia, fielding incredible riders from across the globe, said Adam Bailey, Managing Director – Motorsport of SX Global. “Having a trailblazer like Livia Lancelot who has contributed so much to the sport both on and off the race track, serving as Team Manager adds another layer of excitement and intrigue around this team and our series,” Bailey concluded.
