“We are honored that so many riders choose to use Dunlop motorcycle tires, at all levels” said Rob Fox, Amateur Motocross Support Manager. “These top 8 riders really stood out for us in 2020 and we know they will represent Dunlop the best way possible just like all the graduates have. With over 27 Team Dunlop Elite alumni currently racing at the pro level, it really proves how strong our program has been over the last 15 years!”
