Yamaha Australia today announced their plans to continue to support ATV racing in Australia. Victorian racer, Adam Siemensma, has signed a one-year deal to represent the tuning fork company on the MX racetracks in state and national events.
Siemensma has had some great results over the past two years, runner up in the Victorian MX champs in 2005 and placing third against the very best this country had to offer at the Yamaha ATV Grand National, also during 2005.
Mark Beechey, Yamahas ATV race team manager and founding member of the Quad Riders Club Victoria has been busy building the scene both for the racers and the industry alike.
"It's been great, says Mark. It was just three short years ago that we had only one class; to introduce fourteen classes for season 2006 just shows how much ATV racing is growing.
"Yamaha have been great, we started out with Luke Beechey on the team and as he's off in America now it's very pleasing to bring Adam on board and keep the momentum going. He's a great young talent, a hard worker and will step it up I'm sure. I look forward to the coming season".
“More and more industry folk are realising the potential of ATV racing but Yamaha have been behind it from day one". We have an awesome deal with Yamaha and all our sponsors from the past two years are back with us again. Virtually, we've only had a rider change so we can now get down to business and get ready for the 2006 season. It's definitely getting tougher out there as the intensity goes up a notch each year. We'll be ready though and are excited to have Adam with us, as we continue to play our part in the participation and promotion of ATV racing in this country".
Victoria without doubt, leads the nation in ATV MX racing and 2006 will introduce the all-new "Yamaha ATV MX Super Series 8". Eight rounds spread right across the state,
"Our series is so revered now, we get racers from all around the country, riders do the long miles from other states just to take part in this premier series. Eight rounds with all competitors having to drop one round keeps it interesting right up till the last round", Beechey added.
