VOLUME ISSUE OCTOBER , P101
It takes a lot of planning to
host nearly 100 riders, and the
Altus Motorsports bLU cRU
Yamaha team and Rock River
Powersports team provided sup-
port to both U.S. and international
entries, including the assembly
of the GYTR-equipped bikes. The
U.S. riders raced their own bikes,
while the international riders were
provided with loaner bikes. The
qualified riders are treated like
factory racers, and each received
a welcome kit that included two
sets of Alpinestars gear, a set of
custom/personalized D'Cor bike
graphics, a pit shirt and jacket, a
GYTR air filter, bLU cRU hats and
a pit board. They also got to keep
their Matrix stand and work mats.

Chandler Powell
was the top YZ65
rider. He wore a
custom helmet
just like the
Canadian MXoN
team riders.
