Sherco motorcycles have created a new Enduro team for 2020 that will compete in EnduroCross, Hard Enduro, GNCC and the National Enduro Championship. The FactoryONE team has had a lot of success in Trials and the new Enduro team is planned to have eight riders for 2020. Ty Tremaine and Louise Forsley are the first two riders confirmed to ride for the team. The following was provided by Sherco.
FactoryONE Sherco welcomes Ty Tremaine and Louise Forsley to the FactoryONE Sherco Enduro Team. They will be finishing out their respective 2019 seasons onboard Sherco Motorcycles. Ty Tremaine just recently finished 4th overall at the Donner Hare Scramble in California onboard a 2020 SEF 300 Factory.

Team Owner Ron Sallman says, “We are beyond thrilled to have Ty and Louise on the FactoryONE Sherco Team. They bring a wealth of talent and will be competing for Championships right out of the gates. Louise is one of the most talented motorcycle riders, period. I am excited to see how she does in EnduroCross. Ty is a proven commodity having won several Jr. Championships, including the FIM World SuperEnduro. On top of being great riders, they are great people. They will be tremendous ambassadors for the Sherco brand.”
