ALEX MARTIN
Although not a twin, nor wild, Alex Martin epitomizes a Timber wolf and Viking-esque mentality that represents Minnesota to the fullest. His effort can’t be replicated or faked, as he’s willing to give one hundred
percent effort at all times.
Minnesotans have a grittiness about them that’s hard to find in other
parts of the country. The rural, wide-open landscape filled with lakes and farmland doesn’t produce men who shy away from hard work. They’re raised on the idea of reaping what they sow, and that’s apparent when watching the number 26 Star Racing Yamaha Rider.
Even if his 2016 results haven’t gone to plan, the Yamalube team knows
where Alex’s roots stem from. He can appear to be down, but never out, as
Martin always plugs his way through the field. Coming into Arlington, the eldest in the family hopes to reach new heights in Supercross and prove what he’s capable of.
