FEBVRE RE-SIGNS WITH FACTORY YAMAHA
Y
amaha Motor Europe
N.V. recently an-
nounced that Romain
Febvre has extended his
contract with the Monster
Energy Yamaha as its
official MXGP rider. The
agreement will see the
defending MXGP World
Champion remain with big
blue through 2019.
The young Frenchman
set the MXGP scene on
fire during his rookie year
aboard the YZ450FM, and
is currently a top contender
in the 2016 championship,
taking his most recent win
at his home GP of France.
"I'm really happy that Ya-
maha and I have reached a
new agreement that reflects the
great work we have achieved so
far together," Febvre said. "We
are going to continue building an
unbeatable team together and
create more stories of success
in MXGP."
Yamaha Motor Europe Chief
Operating Officer Eric de Seynes
added, "It is with great pleasure
indeed that we make this an-
nouncement to continue our
partnership with Romain for a
further three years. Our defend-
ing champion is a true talent and
perfectly reflects the values that
we hold dear in our racing activi-
ties. He is a real 'Blue' rider, and
combined with our class-leading
YZ technology, that he in part
helps to develop, I am confident
we can look forward to not only
the continuation of a fantastic
season this year, but also to
three more years of success." CN
SHADY BURRO ENDURO
W
e came across something that sounds like something
fun to do—the Shady Burro 2-Day Reliability Enduro.
The Shady Burro Enduro is billed as an "old-school"
enduro run in a reliability format. And just like a reliability
enduro, it's a two-day event, this one taking place in the Rio
Grande National Forest in South Fork, Colorado, July 23-24.
The enduro will be sanctioned by the AMA, Rocky Mountain
Enduro Club (RMEC) and WestChec.
The organizers says it has "lined up more than 150 miles of
roads and trails."
