Team Troy Lee Designs / Honda announced today a brand new roster for the upcoming 2009 AMA Supercross Series. Joining the team will be No. 47 Jimmy Albertson

Jimmy Albertson turned pro in 2006 after a string of amateur victories, including a Loretta Lynn's 125cc Championship. In 2008, Jimmy started to turn some heads with a fifth place finish in the lites division at Daytona Supercross. The factory teams took notice. Amid the outdoor nationals, American Honda gave Albertson the opportunity of a lifetime. He was offered a ride to fill in for the injured Ben Townley on a factory Red Bull/Honda 450. Jimmy answered the call with sixth place finishes at Washougal and Steel City. Jimmy will live and train in Corona, CA so that he will be close to Troy Lee Designs.

"I am stoked to be a part of this team," said Albertson upon arriving at TLD. "The helmets and gear are so cool, and the bikes look amazing. I can't wait until Anaheim."
