Wow did not see this one coming! After a massively successful time with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki Hill has decided its time to move on and has signed for the Autotrader Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing outfit. This is huge has not only do they get a very talented rider but he also carries the number one red plate across with him! JGR must be throwing around the big bucks to snap someone up from the prestigious Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki factory team!

More telling is that the deal includes a transition to the premier 450 class meaning this coming season will be Hills last aboard the 250F.

"It’s an honor to be a part of the Autotrader Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing effort. I have known Jeremy Albrecht (team manager) for a while now, and have always respected the JGRMX program. I was blown away after taking a tour of the team’s headquarters in Huntersville, N.C. It’s amazing how they invest so much time and money into finding solutions in an effort to gain a competitive edge. I knew immediately that I needed to be involved with them."

"Justin is a phenomenal talent. He has incredible ability on a motorcycle and is the cornerstone of our 250 program. In getting to know Justin, I’m also impressed with his professionalism and demeanour. The Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team expects to win races, and I have the utmost confidence in Justin. His resume speaks for itself."

This will probably mean Hill will not be competing at the upcoming Monster Energy Cup which is a shame but expected. He will use the time to get comfortable on the new machine and line up, red plate and all for Anaheim 1 on the first weekend in January.

Good luck on your new team Justin and bring on Anahiem 1! :)
