Quartararo, Locatelli, Guevara, & Arbolino Join the Yamaha BLU CRU Master Camp for Day 4
A star-studded line-up of Fabio Quartararo, Andrea Locatelli, Izan Guevara, and Tony Arbolino joined the Yamaha BLU CRU Master Camp on its fourth day, as the ten young riders, aged 15-18, benefitted from some technical training in the morning before taking to the kart track in the afternoon at the Aspar Circuit in Valencia.
The fourth day of the 2025 Yamaha BLU CRU Master Camp saw Arai Agaska (Indonesia), Christopher Clark (USA), Natalia Rivera (Spain), Mario Salles (Brazil), Alessandro Di Persio (Italy), Rintaro Takemoto (Japan), Thanakit Pratumtong (Thailand), Leonardo Marques (Brazil), Valentino Knezovic (Australia), and Hinata Okada (Japan) undertake more technical training in the morning with expert coach Kike Bañuls.
Helping to coach the youngsters were a myriad of Yamaha riders, including the 2021 MotoGP World Champion, Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team), Pata Maxus Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team’s Andrea Locatelli, the 2022 Moto3 World Champion Izan Guevara, and his BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team teammate, Tony Arbolino.
With such an array of world-class talent to guide and coach the young riders, they made excellent progress during a demanding session that focused on riding technique, bike control, and other key areas. In the afternoon, it was time for fun, with all of the riders and coaches taking part in a series of go-kart races at the Aspar Motorsport complex to end the penultimate day in style.
The final day of the Yamaha BLU CRU Master Camp will see the riders take to the main 2.2km Aspar Circuit on their R7s for the final practice sessions, before a closing ceremony to round off proceedings.

“It was a real pleasure to be here today and get to ride and work with these talented BLU CRU riders. It is awesome to see these youngsters be given a chance like this, and you can really see the benefit the BLU CRU program offers to them. I really enjoyed being able to pass on some of my experience to them, and it was also great fun to take part in some go-kart races. The BLU CRU program really does support riders all the way from grassroots, right to the world stage, and there is nothing else like it out there, so to get to be a part of it was a pleasure, and I am looking forward to riding on track with them all tomorrow!”
