Andrew, one of the most like-able and friendly riders on the circuit said, "Teaming with Larry and Jeremy was the best place for me to go. They are very dedicated, and with Honda I know I'm getting a good group of people behind the team as well. I'm looking forward to racing in 2012, being back on Honda, and with all the support we have, I believe together we can reach a new level in the sport."

The new season starts with the AMA Supercross Series, January 7th, 2012, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim California. The Supercross Series runs 17 races across the USA, and then the AMA Motocross season starts their 12 event series in late May.
