The 2013 WORCS series kicks off
in Peoria, Arizona January 19th and 20th. Proudly representing FMF/RPM/KTM Racing Team Maxxis in the Pro class will be Justin Jones. Jones has signed on to race both WORCS and Baja on a KTM 450XC. Jones conquered four WORCS Pro 2 podiums in 2012, impressing team owner Mike Hurlbert with his performances. "I got the call from Mike Hurlbert asking if I would like to race WORCS Pro and Baja for the team in 2013. I said yes in about 3 seconds!" stated an ecstatic Jones. "KTM had a practice bike all fixed up for me to pick up. While I was there I got to meet Roger Decoster, who my father (Gary Jones) raced with in the early years. I am so happy to be a part of the KTM family now. Mike Hurlbert, KTM and all the great team sponsors are giving me a great opportunity, and I am going to work hard to win races and championships for them in the future," Jones continued.

"I learned a long time ago, 'A leaf don't fall to far from the tree," commented Mike Hurlbert. "Gary Jones was the first AMA Motocross Champion when the series started.  Justin Jones has all the great qualities of his father. Over the years I have socialized with Gary quite a bit at the WORCS events, and really noticed Justin's results. Now that Justin and I have worked together a little more I have learned what a great person he is. I am confident Justin is destined to be a great rider like his father." stated Hurlbert.

Eric Yorba will contend in the WORCS Pro 2 class, as well as Baja on a KTM 450XC. Yorba won the 2012 WORCS Pro 2 Lites Championship and is on his way becoming one of the next great off-road racers."Eric Yorba is another candidate with promising future talent," claimed Hurlbert. " Yorba grew up riding with Ivan Ramirez who won the WORCS Pro 2 Championship for us in 2012. Now Yorba and Ramirez are roommates; riding and training together regularly. I would say our odds are very good to repeat the WORCS Pro 2  Championship with this kid".
