Yamaha's YZ250F proves unbeatable in MX Nationals

Yamaha YZ250F takes title wins in MX2, MXD and MXR classes.

Yamaha Motor Australia press release:

The ground breaking Yamaha YZ250F continues to rack up championship success adding another three championships to its already burgeoning mantle-piece after the final round of the Australian MX Nationals were concluded over the weekend.

The deep, sandy loam of the Coolum Pines circuit on the Sunshine Coast saw Yamaha YZ250F mounted riders Jay Wilson, Wilson Todd and Hunter Lawrence all claim round and championship success, making a huge statement for Yamaha and the ultra-high performance of the YZ250F.

Jay Wilson clinched the 2015 MX2 championship with a dominant performance at the final round on his JCR Yamaha YZ250F. Wilson won both motos on the day to stamp his authority on the championship and make it two round wins in a row to close out the motocross season.

GYTR Yamaha’s Wilson Todd nailed down the MXD championship finishing with 1-2 results at Coolum to take the overall round win. Todd entered the final round with a 22 point lead in the series, but rammed home his advantage at the final round with a top shelf performance in tough conditions.

Championship number three came courtesy of Yamaha Junior Racing’s Hunter Lawrence when he wrapped up the final two motos of the Rookies Cup and completed a clean sweep of the four round series, winning every moto.

Coincidently, the same three riders won round nine of the championship one week earlier making it a big finish for the riders, teams and the Yamaha YZ250F.

MX2 – 1st Jay Wilson- Yamaha YZ250F
MXD – 1st Wilson Todd – Yamaha YZ250F
MXR – 1st Hunter Lawrence – Yamaha YZ250F

Add to that the success of Josh Green on his WR250F in the AORC means that if you are in the market for a 250cc dirt bike, it must be Yamaha.
