CALGARY, AB -- Team Honda Canada Blackfoot Fox Racing is pleased to announce the re-signing of five-time consecutive MX1 champion Jean Sebastien Roy, two-time consecutive MX2 West champion Dusty Klatt, and MX2 East championship No. 3 ranked Mitch Cooke for the 2006 CMRC Canadian Motocross Championships.

Quebec’s JSR and British Columbia’s Klatt will campaign the 2006 MX1 CMRC National Motocross Championships aboard the potent Honda CRF450R four-stroke. Cooke will campaign the four western rounds of the MX1 points chase and then focus exclusively on the MX2 East Championship. The Nova Scotia native, who won his first ever national moto this year will ride the all new dual-exhaust 2006 CRF250R.

The team will also contest the ’05 NAPA Montreal Supercross Oct. 1 and both Canadian rounds of the World Championship Supercross to be held in Toronto, Dec. 3 and Vancouver Dec. 10. American rider Chad Charbonneau who finished the year in forth position in the MX2 East series will also be joining the team in these events.

“We’re excited to have JSR, Dusty, and Mitch back with us for another season of great racing next year. The 2005 Hondas were awesome, championship winning bikes and we’re convinced the ’06 models will be even better,” said Blackfoot team manager Jason Mitchell. “We’re also happy to announce that the team will be at the Montreal Supercross in October and the World Championship Supercross rounds in Toronto and Vancouver in December.

“While we have signed our Canadian contingent of riders we are still in discussions and confirm our additional riders for the 2006 CMRC series including our MX2 West rider.”
