The FIM Yamaha R3 BLU CRU World Cup is a road race series aiming to provide a path to the world stage for young riders. Emanuele Pastore is one such rider, who earned his spot in the championship through victory at the 2024 FIM BLU CRU SuperFinale at Estoril in 2024.
The young Italian rider has been no stranger to the podium, as he competed in the Italian Yamaha R3 Cup in 2024, collecting podiums and victories which earned him his place in the BLU CRU SuperFinale in Estoril in the same year.
During the SuperFinale, he emerged victorious after taking third place in Race One, and winning Race Two. This victory would earn him the support of Yamaha and a place in the 2025 edition of the FIM Yamaha R3 BLU CRU World Cup.
He once again showcased his talent by stepping on the podium no less than three times in his 2025 campaign, including a best result of second place finishing just a tenth of a second behind the race winner at Motorland Aragon.
