Kawasaki Signs Savatgy for 2022 Pro MX Championship
Press Release | May 10, 2022
Kawasaki has signed Joey Savatgy to fill in for Adam Cianciarulo for the 2022 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. Cianciarulo is not yet fully healed from the knee injury he suffered earlier in the Supercross Championship.
Savatgy missed most of the Supercross Championship with a knee injury, as well, as a member of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-KTM-WPS Team, which has since folded. But Savatgy is ready to go and will step in for Cianciarulo on the Monster Energy Kawasaki Team in the 450MX class. He will ride alongside teammate Jason Anderson.
From Kawasaki…
Joey Savatgy will fill in for Adam Cianciarulo for the 450MX National Championship for Kawasaki.
Foothill Ranch, CA (May 10, 2022) – Savatgy rejoins Team Green after a two-year hiatus, building upon a successful four-year race-winning partnership aboard a KX250 with the Monster Energy /Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team and a year of premier class competition with Monster Energy Kawasaki. In 2019, Savatgy earned Monster Energy AMA Supercross 450SX “Rookie of the Year” honors as well as several top-10 Pro Motocross finishes with the Monster Energy Kawasaki team.
Savatgy will fill-in for Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Adam Cianciarulo until he is ready to return from a knee injury sustained earlier this season. With a proven history of 250cc Pro Motocross wins with Kawasaki, the team and Savatgy look forward to the number-17 rider competing at the front of the pack alongside the No.21 of Anderson.
“It’s a privilege to join the Monster Energy Kawasaki team for the upcoming Pro Motocross Championship. I’ve had a lot of success with the team in the past and I’m eager to continue building on that in the coming months. We’re only a few weeks shy of the season opener so we will aim to progress as the season goes on, but I’m confident my familiarity with the bike and the team will help speed that process along. I’m optimistic about what we can achieve together this summer.” ~ Joey Savatgy
The 2022 AMA Pro Motocross Championship is set to begin on Saturday, May 28th at Fox Raceway in Pala, California.
