The following is a press release from GasGas…
A red-hot new Flatrock Motorclub GasGas Factory Racing Team will debut in United States off-road for the upcoming 2025 season, set to include former Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series Champion Jordan Ashburn and young gun Jason Tino, who is stepping up to the XC2 250 Pro Class.
We’re eager to “Get On The Gas” in GNCC with the 2022 overall title winner Ashburn, who charged to P2 in this year’s championship with six podiums including two victories—The Mountaineer and John Penton GNCCs—to his credit. At 33 years of age, championship experience is on Jordan’s side and he will be armed with the GasGas EX 350F while solely dedicating his focus on the GNCC Series in 2025.

Jordan Ashburn: “I was stoked to end 2024 with a couple of wins in XC1 and finishing the year in second overall! I’m looking forward to building momentum with the team and landing on the podium more in 2025 aboard the EX 350F.”
As for Tino, the New Jersey native is regarded as one of the most promising up and comers in off-road, and will graduate from 250A to the XC2 250 Pro Class in GNCC ahead of the upcoming season. It will be an exciting step for him equipped with the GasGas EX 250F, in addition to contesting the AMA National Enduro Series within the NE Pro2 ranks. This past season he finished P2 in U.S. Sprint Enduro with three wins in class, but will now focus on the NEPG Series.

Jason Tino: “I’m excited with the 2025 season with GasGas, and it will be my first year on a factory team. I’m surrounded by good people, so am really optimistic about the season ahead! I’m ready to get on the gas!”
Tanner Tremaine, Flatrock Motorclub GasGas Factory Racing Team Manager: “GasGas is very excited to return to racing in 2025 with our new team, Flatrock Motorclub GasGas Factory Racing! Flatrock Motorclub and GasGas have partnered up to form a powerful, exciting team. Returning to the factory GasGas team is Jordan Ashburn, who will be competing in GNCC looking to collect another Overall title in the XC1 Pro Class. New to the GasGas factory team will be Jason Tino. Jason had an extremely successful 2024 in 250A, but will be looking to make an impact in a very competitive XC2 Pro Class, plus he will also be looking to earn himself a championship in his first year of racing the National Enduro Series’ NE Pro2 Class. Both riders are masters of their craft and we are excited to see what 2025 holds for the team.”
Chris Landers, Flatrock Motorclub GasGas Factory Racing Team Owner: “We are beyond thrilled to see two premier brands in GasGas and Flatrock Motorclub form to make a successful 2025 race team. We feel that Jordan Ashburn’s success and veteran race experience, plus Jason Tino’s promising future and youthful energy, will create a perfect dynamic for the GasGas brand. Tanner Tremaine is exactly the Team Manager the Flatrock Motorclub GasGas Factory Racing squad needs and we are excited to see his leadership grow this race season.”
