"Signing with Yamaha
for the 450 Class is amazing! I've been with Yamaha since 2008 and
we have had an awesome relationship ever since. I feel like it's
going to go really well for me next year, just being on a great
team with good people around. I can't wait to start testing and get
my bike dialed in!"
