Joetsu, Japan: TEAM REDLINE is proud to announce the addition of the REDLINE~JAPAN chapter; which is made up of some of the fastest Japanese racers and stars future 2012 Olympic hopeful MASA SAMPEI. The entire REDLINE~JAPAN roster reads like this:
-Masahiro Sampei 17, 2-time UCi World Champ, 9-time All Japan Champ, 3-time PanPacific Champ, 1-time 4-cross Champ
-Ryota Nobukiyo 18, 1-time All Japan Champ
-Ryosuke Kusama 15, 1-time All Japan Champ
-Daiki Ikeda 14, 1-time All Japan Champ

-KoyuSusaki 8, 2-time Over All Champ (Japanese equivalent to NAG No.1)
-Yuichi Fujisawa 18, 3-time All Japan Champ, 2006 All Japan Elite class champion, and Pan Pacific champ

The Japanese National season is set to kick-off this weekend at Joetsu, Japan; where riders will be confronted with a monstrous Godzilla-sized Pro Section, that Masa Sampei has helped build. This will be Masa’s first big race back since going under the knife in December, fixing a nagging shoulder injury. Now healed up and ready to reak havoc on his competition like Mothra did on Tokyo in 1964, Masa is excited to get back in to the mix of things. With the Joetsu track being Ryosuke and Daiki's home track, where they practice every day, are the odds-on favorites for scoring some of Redline’s first wins of the year. In fact, the entire Redline~Japan squadron plan to be a force to be reckoned with in 2007.

In March, three members of the Redline~Japan team came to the ABA Winternationals in Phoenix; and took on America’s finest.
