The surge in early registrations builds on a landmark 2025 season, which attracted over 800 entries. It saw 112 riders race alongside MXGP stars at the YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale, held at the MXGP of Sweden in Uddevalla. It also marked a significant expansion of the global footprint of the BLU CRU project. The YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale class winners raced in the inaugural YZ BLU CRU World SuperFinale at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in the USA.
Further reinforcing its status as Europe’s leading youth motocross development platform, the Yamaha YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup continues to attract a record number of riders aged 8-16. They are from across the continent, racing in either the YZ125, YZ85, or YZ65 classes. At the same time, female participation also continues to grow at a strong pace. It now represents over 10% of the total entries, a significant milestone.
This reflects Yamaha’s long-term commitment to making motorsport more accessible and inclusive at every level.
In 2026, these young rippers will battle it out in national qualifiers across the season. They aim to secure one of 120 coveted spots at the YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale. This year it is held at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Ernée, France, from October 2-4.
There, Europe’s next generation of motocross talent will have the chance to showcase their skills to a global audience. They will compete against riders from Japan, Australia, Canada, the USA, Indonesia, Brazil, and Colombia. This underscores the international appeal of Yamaha’s award-winning BLU CRU program.
At the YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale, the top three finishers in each category, two wildcard riders, and the highest-placed female rider in each class will earn an exclusive invitation to the BLU CRU Masterclass.
This is where the next generation of champions will be identified. It is an intensive two-day training camp with BLU CRU ambassadors Gautier Paulin, Nancy van de Ven, and Brian Jorgensen. Here, the final overall winners will be selected based not only on results but also on talent, potential, and attitude.
On offer for the YZ125 class winner is a place on a Yamaha-supported team for a full EMX125 campaign in 2027, racing a GYTR-kitted YZ125. Meanwhile, winners in the YZ85 and YZ65 classes will receive enhanced support from Yamaha Motor Europe for their 2027 seasons.
