The 2009 team boasts four riders who literally set the pace on the racetrack in 2008, starting with Andrew Short, who demonstrated incredible grit last year claiming the most combined points from both series. Short rides the all new 2009 CRF450R in both the Supercross and Motocross series. Joining him in both classes once again will be Davi Millsaps, who earned the 2006 East Supercross Lites Championship.
Ivan Tedesco and Ben Townley are back for 2009. At 27 years of age, Tedesco has three titles in Lites classes to his credit. He will also ride the 09 CRF450R in the Supercross and Motocross series. Townley is but 24 years old, yet he is already a world traveler and accomplished champion. Hailing from New Zealand, Townley has claimed an MX2 Motocross World Championship and the 2007 AMA East Supercross Lites crown as well. Stepping up from Supercross Lites, Townley will be joining his teams in Supercross and Motocross this year aboard Honda's 2009 CRF450R.

Yoshimura R&D spends countless hours each year developing racebike exhaust systems and building products for consumers.
