Time is running out to register for the 2026 Yamaha YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup, with 660 riders from 27 countries already set to line up on the starting gate. Early registrations have reached record numbers, so now is the time to sign up and make sure you don’t miss out. Registration is open until midnight CET on March 2, 2026.
The strong surge in early entries carries over from a breakthrough 2025 campaign, which saw more than 800 riders register and 112 earn the chance to line up alongside MXGP stars at the YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale at the MXGP of Sweden in Uddevalla. The season also pushed the BLU CRU program onto a larger international stage, as class winners progressed to compete in the first-ever YZ BLU CRU World SuperFinale at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in the USA.
Showcasing Yamaha’s long-term commitment to making motorsport more inclusive and accessible at every level, the Yamaha YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup recognises soaring female participation which has now reached over 11% of the overall total entries. This, as well as attracting a record number of riders aged 8-16 across the continent racing in either the YZ65, YZ85, or YZ125 classes, cements the series’ position as Europe’s leading youth motorcross development platform.
Coming up in 2026, the young stars of tomorrow will battle it out across Europe for the chance to earn their place amongst only 120 available spots at the YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale taking place at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Ernée, France from 2-4 October.
At the SuperFinale, Europe’s rising motocross stars will go head-to-head with riders from across the world, including Japan, Australia, Canada, the USA, Indonesia, Brazil, and Colombia, offering a rare opportunity to compete on a truly international stage and highlighting the global strength and reach of Yamaha’s award-winning BLU CRU program.
The top three finishers in each category, as well as two wildcard riders and the highest-placed female competitor in each class will have earned their place at the exclusive BLU CRU Masterclass. The intensive two-day training camp with BLU CRU ambassadors Gautier Paulin, Nancy van de Ven and Brian Jorgensen is where the next generation of champions will be chosen. The final overall winners will be selected on a mixture of results, talent, potential and attitude.
With the registration countdown ticking down, the rewards on offer are bigger than ever. The YZ125 class winner will secure a place on a Yamaha-supported team for a full EMX125 campaign in 2027 aboard a GYTR-kitted YZ125, while winners in the YZ85 and YZ65 classes will receive enhanced Yamaha Motor Europe support for the 2027 season.
