Another big signing announced today as the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team confirmed their newest rider, Ryder Difrancesco. Ryder D is set to make his professional Supercross debut with the team before embarking on his second run at the Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross playoff rounds.
“I am very excited to make the transition to the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team for my first full professional season,” said Difrancesco. “I’m ready for new challenges and learning a new bike, which is the exciting part of what’s ahead together.”

After beginning this year in Supercross Futures, Ryder went on to contest the entire Pro Motocross Championship, achieving four top 10 overall results in 11 rounds, and a season-best of sixth at Ironman Raceway’s final round, earning 10th place in the standings. He continued that form at SMX Playoff 1 in Charlotte, where he finished fourth overall, and would eventually race to 12th position in the 250SMX Championship.
Ryder D will make his Supercross debut with the GasGas team.
Difrancesco departs the Pro Circuit Kawasaki team where he rode since being an amateur on 65’s. After being a longtime Team Green standout, this is the first time he’ll race for another brand.
“We’re super-excited to have Ryder DiFrancesco join the team for the 2024 racing season,” said Team Manager, Max Lee. “He has a lot of talent and a good work ethic, so I think he’s a great fit for the group and the GASGAS brand!”
