ENDURO CHALLENGE AND MX CHALLENGE: Yamaha's racing blue protagonist in the Italian FMI championships

ENDURO CHALLENGE AND MX CHALLENGE – The vehicles of the WR and YZ families, belonging to the Casa Iwata Off Road Competition range, are already ready to leave their mark on the Italian tracks. In fact, the new season of Yamaha Italia trophies officially begins which, for 2017, presents the renewed Enduro Challenge, MX Challenge and MX Junior 125 Challenge, real championships dedicated to their own "bLU cRU" of off-road enthusiasts who, on weekends, proudly bring the Blu Racing Yamaha to the National FMI competitions with the aim of winning and above all having fun.

Registering for the Challenge is simple and free: just connect to the website of the promoters of the relevant championships and access the dedicated page or alternatively, on race days, go directly to the organizational secretariats present in the circuits. Only non-professional riders owning Yamaha WR and YZ vehicles of any year will be able to register. Once registered for one of the Challenges, participants will normally take part in the races of their relevant Italian FMI Championship. At the end of each competition the special Yamaha Challenge ranking of the day will then be drawn up. The Challenge rankings, constantly visible on a dedicated page of the promoter's website, will be regularly updated so that each driver can always know their position within the ranking.

The top three riders in each race, as a sign of official recognition of their successes, will be the protagonists of a dedicated awards ceremony on the Yamaha stage and will receive the Challenge plaque as a prize. The spotlight, however, will not only go on for those who get on the podium: the results and exploits of all the drivers entered in the Challenge will, in fact, have space on the official communication channels of the Iwata company. At the end of the season, the "bLU cRU Weekend" is scheduled, an entire weekend, in a location with cross and enduro tracks, dedicated to Yamaha's bLU cRU and to all the riders registered in the Challenges who will compete in the final race to decide the Champions 2017. The winners will be awarded the rich special prizes offered by Yamaha.

To celebrate Yamaha's Racing DNA, the riders of the Official Enduro and Cross Teams will be present for the occasion and, as international ambassadors of the bLU cRU spirit, they will be alongside the Challenge riders during the weekend.
