VRT Yamaha Official EMX250 Rider
“I'm so happy for this opportunity. I've always wanted to come and try out racing in Europe, and when the opportunity came about I had to jump at it. Some close people in my corner helped me get this together and I couldn't be happier about it. It means a lot to me to come over here and have these amazing people help me out. My expectations are to go out and learn as much as I can. It's going to be quite an adjustment but I'm ready for it!”

“We are delighted to have Gavin join us from America, especially during this tough season where we have, unfortunately, lost a few of our stars through injury. With the support of Yamaha Motor USA, Star Racing and Monster Energy, we have made it possible to give this young, talented rider the chance to gain some experience on the world stage through the European Championship EMX250 series, with the view of understanding his potential for the future. The plan is to let Gavin find his feet on the VRT Yamaha Official EMX250 team and the GYTR kitted YZ250F in the EMX250 series before making some wildcard appearances in MX2.”
