Boris Chambon signs with Yamaha

S2 World Champion, Boris Chambon has finally signed a two years deal with Yamaha Evolution, and will defend his title for the Japanese brand. "Before Latina I had only one offer, but when I got the title I had several opportunities and the most interesting for me was to go with Yamaha Evolution.

I always raced for European companies, Husqvarna and later KTM, and I wanted to race one day for a Japanese brand. I had a good offer from this team, and I'm ready for the challenge," said Boris in Monaco during the Off Road Awards ceremony. Boris had the opportunity to met in Monaco Laurens Kleinkoerkamp (Yamaha Europe) and will start testing the bike in January. "I know that we didn't saw so many times a Yamaha in front of the pack, but Andrea Bartolini got some good results, including a win in Namur with a Yamaha. We'll be supported by Yamaha Italy and Yamaha Europe, and I will have factory support from Michelin," added Boris who will probably have Max Manzo as team-mate in the S2 class.
