Entering 2025 we are pumped to announce the multi-time champion, Jess Pettis, is coming home! Jess Pettis returns to Yamaha and MX101 where he’ll defend the #1 plate in the 450 class. Jess and Yamaha have history dating back to 2018 when Jess won the 250 Pro Motocross Championship title. |

| TEAM CANADA BUT MAKE IT bLU |
 |
| Flipping to the amateur side of racing, we had lots to celebrate this year with the highlight being the Yamaha SuperFinale hosted at Matterly Basin, UK during MX of Nations. bLU cRU Canada sent over three very talented young racers to race in three classes.Chandler Powell, the youngest on the team at only 11 years old, handled the pressure in front of 70,000 spectators and ended with an impressive 13th place on his YZ65 after a mid-moto crash. Talon Medaglia, the 13 year old legend, managed a 3rd in qualifying and a 4th overall in his final moto on his YZ85. Talon sure does resemble his dad when sending his YZ85 on every jump. Johnathan Bergeron, at 14 years old, was pitted against top talent up to 17 years old and held his own after a hectic practice session on his YZ125. Missing out on qualifying and being involved in a crash at the start, he put in a solid effort and ended up finishing 16th.Team bLU cRU Canada showed their grit and why the North is not to be taken lightly. |

Bobby is a multi-time Factory Ride Award winner and continues to show us his determination when that gate drops. Liam Dodds, Walton Factory Ride Award winner.
