RCH Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John‰Ûªs/Suzuki Factory Racing will add Jake Weimer to its stable of riders beginning with this weekend‰Ûªs Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, at O.co Coliseum in Oakland, Calif.
Broc Tickle, rider of RCH‰Ûªs No. 20 Suzuki, was diagnosed with a fractured distal radius in his right forearm following a practice crash at the team‰Ûªs test facility last Friday and is expected to miss the next four to six rounds. Weimer‰Ûªs addition to the team will not affect Tickle‰Ûªs return once he receives medical clearance to compete.
The 2010 Western Regional 250SX Class Champion moves to RCH after spending 2015 and the first three races of 2016 with Team Tedder. He will compete with RCH for the remainder of the 2016 Monster Energy Supercross season aboard the No. 12 Suzuki RM-Z450.
Weimer is a veteran of 53 Monster Energy Supercross 450SX starts and currently sits ninth in points. Over the last six seasons, the Idaho native has earned five podiums, including a career-best second-place finish to complement 12 top five and 31 top 10s.
‰ÛÏIt‰Ûªs a good opportunity for me to be on a team of this caliber,‰Û
