After three years chasing the World MXGP circuit throughout Europe and a year in the US, Australia‰Ûªs Dean Ferris will return home in 2016 to race for the powerhouse CDR Yamaha factory outfit on board the potent YZ450F.
24 year old Ferris comes home to Australia and the premier motocross team in country after finishing the world championships in a respectable 11th place in a season filled with highs and lows. He announced his 2016 plans in France over the weekend where he was representing Australia at the Motocross Of Nations.
Contracted to ride the 2016 MX Nationals, the NZ MX Championships and the Australian Supercross Championship, Ferris is looking forward to his return not only to Australia but also the Yamaha brand where he has achieved his best results in the past.
As part of his new arrangement, Ferris will also compete in the New Zealand Motocross Championships at the beginning of the year as the CDR and JCR Yamaha teams continue to work together in developing riders and preparing them for championship success.
‰ÛÏI‰Ûªm really looking forward to getting back home and racing in Australia again,‰Û
