Apparently, Hayden Gillim has put away the van and has a new plan as he’s inked a two-year deal that will put him on the Rickdiculous Racing Yamaha R6 for the 2018 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship.
Gillim, who raced a Cycle World Suzuki for the past two seasons in the Bazzaz Superstock 1000 Championship, will join 2017 Superstock 600 Champion Jason Aguilar and Gauge Rees on the three-rider Rickdiculous Racing team for the 2018 MotoAmerica season. While Gillim and Aguilar will race in the Supersport class, Rees will compete in the new Junior Cup class on a Graves Yamaha R3.

“I’m really excited about it,” Gillim said. “I will be going back down to a 600, but the bike will be really, really good and I definitely think I can do well in the class. I just have to figure out how we get to JD (Beach). I haven’t ridden a Yamaha in about four or five years. We’re riding the Graves-spec R6 out here now (at Chuckwalla in Southern California).”
