It’s More than Just a Race! The YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale Shines Bright
2024 was a monumental year for the YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup, with Yamaha launching its first-ever global SuperFinale. This exciting event, held at the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in Matterley Basin, Great Britain, brought together young riders from across the globe, including competitors from the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Japan, Argentina, and Brazil. The cup is no longer just a European event—it has truly become a global platform for the next generation of motocross stars!
Since its launch in 2016, the YZ bLU cRU Cup has become the top gateway for young motocross talents aiming to progress into top-tier teams within the European Motocross Championship. This program provides a clear path for aspiring riders to climb through Yamaha’s racing structure and ultimately compete at the highest levels. Over the years, Yamaha has nurtured multiple champions, with over half of the current Monster Energy Yamaha Factory riders emerging from this development pipeline.
Maxime Renaux, the 2021 MX2 World Champion, is a great example of how Yamaha’s pyramid strategy works. Renaux first made his mark by winning the Junior Motocross World Championship on a YZ125 in 2015, paving the way for future talents like Ivano van Erp, who claimed the same title in 2022.
