In terms of technology development through racing, we plan to focus on the All Japan Championships to carry out a wide range of development activities with the aim of achieving our three main principles while also acquiring advanced technologies that can contribute to achieving carbon neutrality. The goals are to motivate young riders aiming for the world stage, and to discover and develop potential riders to compete for the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team in Moto2 in the future. As they race in Moto2, which can be considered the pinnacle of the sport for young riders, they will gain further experience and promote their growth toward competing at the highest levels.Īs part of our effort to work with our locations in each country to develop strong personnel on a broad scale, this year two Master Camps are scheduled. Riding for the team will be young up-and-comers who have developed their skills through bLU cRU activities. In 2022, the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team will switch from the FIM CEV Moto2 Championship to the Moto2 World Championship, positioning itself as a team for young riders poised to step up to the world's top categories like MotoGP and World Superbikes. In 2017 the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team was established to compete in the FIM CEV Moto3 and Moto2 championships with the aim of further improving the level of Master Camp graduates. To date the Master Camp has produced riders who have achieved excellent results in the Supersport 300 World Championship, R3 Cup, and Asia Road Racing Championship. Since 2016, Yamaha has partnered with the Valentino Rossi-led VR46 Riders Academy in holding the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp to train promising young riders in Italy. With the goals of developing young riders and promoting the spread of racing, this year we will work to further strengthen our young rider development activities through the bLU cRU. We will once again devote all our efforts toward delivering Kando* as we challenge for the wins and titles that lie ahead in 2022.

In 2022, our aim is unchanged: to defend our titles in MotoGP and World Superbikes, and to win every other title we contest. We also triumphed in various off-road championships around the world, including winning the Motocross World Championship MX2 title, AMA Motocross 450cc title, and both the AMA Supercross 250cc East and West titles. In addition, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu won Yamaha’s second ever World Superbike Championship title and our first since 2009, while Yamaha also took title wins in international championships like the Supersport World Championship and in national championships in Japan, the United States, Great Britain, France, and other countries. This was made possible thanks to the support of our teams, sponsors, suppliers and fans around the world. These efforts have three main goals: enhancing the value of the Yamaha brand, developing advanced technologies for our production machines, and promoting the healthy growth of motorcycle racing.Ģ021 marked Yamaha’s 60th year of participating in international racing, a year in which factory Yamaha MotoGP rider Fabio Quartararo won Yamaha’s first MotoGP title since 2015 and our 18th in the premier class. engages in racing efforts around the world in road racing, motocross, trials and more, including the MotoGP World Championship, World Superbike Championship and the All Japan Road Race, Motocross and Trials championships.
