Briar and Bronson Bauman are Official Indian Factory Riders. Briar left Zanotti Racing for the ride but wisely took Dave Zanotti with him as Team Mgr and Michele Disalvo as Race Engineer. Briar obviously got used to the Indian quickly after several GNC Victories on the Zanotti Kawasaki.
Bronson gave up Kawasaki rides to join the Team in 2018 and has put in solid performances ever since. Indian's No.1 Rider and 2018 Champ, Jared Mees, might have his hands full with these two and a past GNC Champ Bryan Smith, riding his old Championship winning Kawasaki. With the restrictions put on the dominating Indians for 2019, the field might be wide open for some real battle of the brands. Let's hope so.
