Shortly after announcing his departure from Sherco, Cody Webb has found his new home at Yamaha. Webb signed a multi-year deal with Yamaha Racing / bLU cRU and will compete in 2025 in AMA EnduroCross, AMA Hard Enduro and other specialty events.
“I’m really excited about this new endeavor with Yamaha,” said Webb. “The sport of hard enduro has been growing quickly, and I feel honored to bring Yamaha into the series and back into EnduroCross. The level of professionalism in my short time so far with the bLU cRU can’t be matched. I can’t wait to see what ’25 has in store for us.”
“We are very excited to expand our off-road racing efforts in 2025 with the addition of Cody Webb to include EnduroCross and specialty events,” said Donnie Luce, Amateur MX/ ATV / Off-Road Coordinator for YMUS. “He is a proven champion with an extensive background in these arenas and will be participating on multiple models in our off-road lineup, which will make this year even more exciting for the bLU cRU.”
It will be interesting to see what model Yamaha Webb will ride next year, especially in the hard enduros, where smaller, lightweight two-strokes are generally preferred, such as Yamaha’s YZ250X, which is a kickstart motorcycle. CN
