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.
