Serco Motorsports and Yamaha Australia have confirmed the retention of Luke Clout for the 2014 racing season for their factory MX2 team.
19 year old Clout, from Sydney, was a revelation in 2013 prior to his injury posting impressive results in the MX Nationals, highlighted with a round win at Murray Bridge, and running second in the MX2 championship before a training fall caused him to miss the remainder of the season with a broken leg.
‰ÛÏSerco Yamaha are the best team in the MX2 class and signing to race with them again in 2014 was a formality." Clout explained. "Everyone in the team works hard and the bikes are amazing so there really was no decision, it was just a matter of signing the contract and now getting fit and ready for the season to begin.
‰ÛÏI‰Ûªm also looking forward to racing the new 2014 Yamaha YZ250F. The bike is all new and the reports we are hearing is that it is an awesome bike.
It‰Ûªs an exciting time to be with Yamaha and Serco and I can‰Ûªt wait for my leg to heal and get back on the track,‰Û
