Stilez Robertson Joins Star Racing Yamaha
Cycle News Staff | October 5, 2022
Stilez Robertson announced last week that his time with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna had come to an end after signing on with the team back in 2019. Robertson’s new deal was confirmed this morning as he has joined the Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha Team. It looks to be a two year deal and no word yet on which coast he is slated to race. Robertson has traditionally raced the east coast rounds of Supercross despite being a native of Bakersfield, California. After a mid-season injury ended his year during the outdoor nationals, we’re excited to see Stilez back to form as he joins the Blue Crew for 2023. The press release from Yamaha can be read below.

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is pleased to announce that Stilez Robertson will join their powerhouse 250 team for the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross seasons.
Robertson turned pro in 2020 after successfully concluding his amateur career with a pair of Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross titles at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and the Nicky Hayden Amateur Horizon Award. Although it’s been a roller coaster start to his pro career with injuries that have sidelined him from a full season, the 20-year-old has shown speed up front. He notched a pair of runner-up finishes at the challenging Daytona Supercross these past two seasons and earned his first outdoor overall podium this Summer at the RedBud National. Back to full fitness, Robertson is eager to get back on track and go racing with Yamaha.
