Not unlike what Honda and Kawasaki announced earlier, Yamaha will redirect its AMA Road Racing, and Supercross and Motocross efforts for the 2010 season.
For Supercross and Motocross, Yamaha partner L&M racing will continue to compete in the 450 class with defending AMA and World Supercross Champion James Stewart aboard the all-new YZ450F. Other satellite teams will soon be announced to further strengthen Yamaha’s off-road racing efforts.
For road racing, Yamaha USA will continue to partner with Championship-winning Graves Motorsports, who will now assume additional responsibilities for Team Yamaha entries within the current AMA class structure. No word on who the riders would be.
Antoine L'Estage and his codriver Alan Ockwell of the Yokohama Canada Rally Team won the 2014 edition of the Rallye Defi by winning every stage of the rally.
