For 2026, the age limits for the YZ65 and YZ85 classes remain aligned with EMX65 and EMX85 regulations, meaning that riders aged between eight and 12 years are eligible for the YZ65 class, while those aged between 11 and 14 years are eligible for the YZ85 class. The YZ125 class remains open to riders aged 13 to 16 years.
Registered BLU CRU riders will compete throughout Europe for one of 120 places on the gate at the 2026 YZ BLU CRU SuperFinale, which will take place alongside the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in Ernee, France, from 2 to 4 October 2026.
Once again, the YZ BLU CRU SuperFinale will give the top European BLU CRU racers the opportunity to pit their skills against the best riders from overseas, with more than 35 countries and five different continents expected to be represented by riders on the start gate.
The BLU CRU program creates a professional environment that encourages, nurtures, and develops tomorrow’s racing stars through a clear, structured pathway from grassroots competition to the international stage across both road and off-road racing. More than 850 young riders benefited from BLU CRU initiatives in 2025, confirming its position as the most effective talent-development system in motorcycle racing. |

| Each young rider who registers will have the chance not only to race in front of the enormous crowds at MXoN but also to share the paddock with their heroes at the biggest motocross event of the year, and the opportunity to secure Yamaha support for 2026.
At the YZ BLU CRU SuperFinale, the top three riders, together with two carefully selected wildcard riders and the top female racer in each class, will receive an invitation to the prestigious BLU CRU Masterclass at the end of the season. The BLU CRU Masterclass is designed to introduce riders to every aspect of professional racing as they receive expert training and guidance from Yamaha’s BLU CRU Ambassadors.
At the conclusion of the two-day BLU CRU Masterclass, one YZ125 rider will be chosen to join a Yamaha-supported team and contest the EMX125 Championship in 2027, while one rider from each of the YZ65 and YZ85 categories will also receive additional Yamaha support and GYTR parts for the following season.
