WIN A YAMAHA bLU cRU FACTORY RIDE
Yamaha brings back the Factory Ride Award for 2016
March 28, 2016 (Toronto, ON) – For 2016, Yamaha Motor Canada is pleased to
bring back their popular and newly rebranded ‘Yamaha bLU cRU Factory Ride’
award. One award will be given at each of the three biggest amateur motocross
events in Canada. Last year’s big winners were Kyle Biro (WCAN), William
Mirreault and Nick Denniston (ECAN), and Marco Cannella (TransCan). Each
won a ‘Factory Ride’ in addition to a $2500 parts credit!
This year, Yamaha has adopted the bLU
cRU program from the United States and
brought it north to Canadian riders to further
offer amateur racing support.
Bryan Hudgin, Yamaha’s Race Director
commented, “Right now we already have
Canadian amateur riders like Marco
Cannella and Jake Tricco being supported
by bLU cRU while riding in the U.S. so
In 2015, Kyle Biro was the first rider to take
making this a North American program
home a Yamaha Factory Ride!
makes sense. What’s great about the
‘Yamaha bLU cRU Factory Ride’ award is,
not only do the winners get the use of a new YZ of their choice for the next race
season but they also can use the parts credit for our GYTR and Yamalube lines
as well as our affiliated brands like One Industries, Factory Effex, Matrix and
Cycra.
With the award available at the Raymond Western Canadian Amateur National
(July 1-3, 2016), Deschambault Grand National Amateur Championship (August
4-7, 2016) and at the Walton TransCan (August 17-21, 2016). Hudgin went on to
discuss the importance of giving one award away at each event, “The ‘Yamaha
bLU cRU Factory Ride’ award gives amateur Yamaha riders from coast to coast
a chance to earn this prize. We want to show customers our commitment to
amateur racing and our appreciation for their business.”
