It is the first time that the YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale will take place in Scandinavia, a significant milestone for Yamaha Motor Scandinavia.
Whose dedication to the bLU cRU programme has contributed to its global success.
Scandinavian riders are consistently among the most competitive, with the region regularly fielding more than 40% of the bLU cRU riders contesting the YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cups.

Masterclass.
At the 2025 YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale, the top three riders from each category and two wildcards will earn a coveted spot at the exclusive bLU cRU Masterclass.
This two-day event offers expert training, mentorship, and a glimpse into the professional motocross environment.
For YZ125 riders, the ultimate reward is a ride with a Supported Yamaha team in the 2026 EMX125 Championship, while YZ85 and YZ65 competitors will receive Yamaha support and GYTR parts for the following season.
Andrea Dosoli: Motorsport Division Manager, Yamaha Motor Europe, said: “It is entirely fitting that, with the Motocross of Nations taking place in the United States in 2025, the Yamaha YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale should be held in Sweden. Scandinavian riders make up 40 percent of our 800 bLU cRU riders, with Sweden the biggest single country represented amongst the bLU cRU ranks. With 186 registrations in 2024, Swedish riders accounted for a quarter of the bLU cRU family throughout Europe and, with 108 Swedish riders registered already for the 2025 season, this trend looks set to continue. On behalf of Yamaha, I would like to thank the FIM, Infront Moto Sports and the Swedish Federation, SVEMO, for their invaluable assistance in ensuring that the 2025 YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale will take place at Uddevalla. I am looking forward to seeing both the riders and their families at the event, which is growing every year.”
The 2024 edition of this event was run alongside the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations at Matterley Basin.
For the first time, competitors from overseas were invited to join riders from the traditional YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup!
We saw riders competing from as far afield as;
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Australia
- North and South America
A record 754 riders aged 8 to 16 from 31 countries took part, a 40% increase on 2023.
All of the riders benefitted from the advice of Yamaha ambassadors such as; Ryan Villopoto, Brian Jorgensen, and Nancy van de Ven with track walks and coaching sessions across the weekend.
2025.
The scheduling of the 2025 SuperFinale in Sweden means that the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing class will not hold its final round that weekend.
The EMX250 class will still go ahead as normal.
The bLU cRU pilots will have a chance to experience the thrill of a full MXGP weekend, as the usual Grand Prix schedule for the MX2 and MXGP classes, will take place on the very same circuit.
Allowing the young riders to truly compare their skills and learn from the best riders in the paddock!
