Successfully representing Yamaha in international enduro competition for the last three years, the Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team now have their eyes set on an exciting new project that will no longer see them participate in the FIM Enduro World Championship.
Bringing their involvement with international enduro competition to a close at the 2018 FIM International Six Days Enduro in Chile, Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team members are already looking ahead to an exciting future. The French-based squad have been Yamaha’s official representatives in the top-tier of global, FIM governed enduro competition since 2016.
Enjoying a wealth of success, the team saw Loïc Larrieu place as the Enduro 2 World Championship runner-up in 2016 and 2018, and the EnduroGP World Championship runner-up in 2017. WR450F powered Larrieu also claimed the outright victory at the 2017 ISDE.
In the 250cc category, Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team rider Jamie McCanney has finished as the Enduro 2 World Championship runner-up in 2017 and the Enduro 1 World Championship runner-up in 2018.
Complete details on the team’s plans for the future will be announced in the coming weeks.
