Jo Shimoda gets 2021 deal with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki
By Press Release on 10th Dec 20
Jo Shimoda has joined Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki for the 2021 season to join a formidable pool of talent heading into Supercross.
The decorated Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team adds depth to an already stacked roster with the addition of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Rookie of the Year award recipient, Jo Shimoda for the 2021 racing season.
Shimoda joins long-time Team Green racer Austin Forkner along with Jordon Smith, Cameron McAdoo, and the most recent Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green amateur motocross graduate Seth Hammaker aboard their all-new 2021 KX250 motorcycles.
Jo Shimoda became available late last season, said Mitch Payton, Pro Circuit owner. We feel that with his tremendous talent and the new 2021 Kawasaki KX250, it will be a recipe for success. Jo showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie supercross season and finished out the motocross season with a career-best moto podium finish. Were looking forward to Jo mixing it up with our four other talented riders and seeing them all work toward their goal of becoming a champion next season.
Honestly, I wasnt too sure what next year would look like for me, but thanks to the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team and Mitch Payton, I couldnt be more excited for next year, said Shimoda.
It feels really good to be with such an iconic team like the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki race team and to know that they believe in my ability enough to give me a chance this year. I was able to test the all-new KX250 a couple of times and on my first day, I was over jumping everything because of how fast it was! I am just really thankful and excited for this opportunity and I plan to make the most of it.
Shimoda and the 2021 Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki racing team are positioned for another championship campaign and have begun preparations for the 2021 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, and AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
