Yamaha Motor Corporation,
U.S.A., is proud to announce its 2019 bLU cRU Off-Road

million for Yamaha bLU cRU riders competing in off-road
motorcycle racing.
In addition to coverage of the AMA Professional Supercross and
Motocross, National and Regional Amateur MX and Off-Road events,
Yamaha
has expanded its support of the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC)
series, with $467,350 available, almost five times as much as
offered in 2018 for Yamaha bLU cRU GNCC racers. The
Contingency Program also boasts increases in support to Yamaha
bLU cRU riders in the American Flat Track (AFT) series,
including those bLU cRU riders who will compete in the
all-new AFT Production Twins class.
In addition to the professional championships, Yamaha continues to
support the sport's future stars at various national and regional
amateur motocross races across the U.S., as well as the newly
created "Supercross Futures" series.
"Our bLU cRU Off-Road Racing Contingency Program has proven to be
hugely popular, and this year, we've increased the program by 15%,
with total funds of nearly $5 million available to Yamaha riders
who excel in competition," said Mike Guerra, Racing Department
Manager for Yamaha. "We have made huge increases in all classes of
the GNCC series, the largest off-road series in the country, by
boosting the contingency for Yamaha bLU cRU riders fivefold for
2019! We also have increased our support of the American Flat Track
(AFT) series, including its all-new Production Twins class and have
also stepped forward to support the new Supercross Futures" series
that focuses on emerging supercross talent."
Riders who compete in supercross, motocross, flat track, or
