RYDER DIFRAN- CESCO
The Bakersfield Boys are traditionally blazing fast and Ryder Difrancesco can attest to that personally. With a rich heritage in two wheel racing, it’s no surprise that Ryder competes at the level of his respective divisions that he does. Difrancesco is a big part
of the huge wave of wicked fast AM’s assaulting the amateur national circuit with speed, style, and personality in 2015. Ryder came into Florida ready to shake up the numbers as he has consistently throughout the prior season and he did just that. Ryder rode his way to steady results, earning six second place moto scores and an even more impressive four moto wins. The competition in the 65cc classes is peaking right now with multiple threats fighting for the top spot during each gate drop. Difrancesco managed to head west with two titles and a trio of runner up finishes as well notching himself on the belt of current 65cc class champions. Team Dunlop is pushing athletes to new heights and Ryder D is one of the elite working to lead the way. Now stepping up to the 85cc machine as well, Ryder is slowly but surely inching his way into the premier levels of mini bike racing with a strong record to follow suit.

MPG DIGITAL • JANUARY / 2016
Eager to make an appearance on the Mini O’s podium and pop his first bottle, Sam Garroutte came to Florida with
a very clear mission, win! Sam did just that too, making the right moves when they counted the most when racing moved outdoors. Sam had his hands full in the stacked 51cc (4-6) Limited class however it was nothing he couldn’t handle. Com- ing in with a strong second place result in moto one, Garroutte was riding wide open during the second moto shooting for the top spot. As the 51cc (4-6) Limited class came ripping up the finish line hill on the last lap it was the #529 machine lead-
ing the way stealing the overall with 2-1 moto finishes. Sam earned himself a new number one plate as well as that first chance to spray everyone in attendance with a little bubbly he so badly wanted.
