Australian Yamaha Off-Road Elite Training Program Very Successful

Over in Australia in 2007, Yamaha and Stephen Gall set up an intense training program for all Yamaha sponsored athletes in the nation - it was called the Yamaha Elite Training Program (YETP). The training program has provided for three championships in 2009 alone! That is what I call success. And, if you read the article, you will see how many other athletes have taken advantage of the program and improved their skills - and it not only helps off-road riders, but road racers too!

Josh Waters is Australian Superbike Champion in Rookie Season

Yep, it's true, Waters and his Team Joe Rocket Suzuki won both final races at Phillip Island this weekend, and that brought them the ASBK crown for 2009. Waters held of riders Glenn Allerton and Wayne Maxwell, who were also in contention for the prize, and took the Championship in his first season in the series and at the young age of 22. What's next? Well, how about another season and another championship! Bryan Staring won the Australian Supersport Championship class, and Pat Medcalf claimed the inaugural Australian Superstock 1000 Championship. It was a great weekend for racing Down Under.
