Over 800 riders registered for the 2025 YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup this year, and of these, 112 riders took to the track alongside their racing heroes at the 2025 MXGP of Sweden in Uddevalla last weekend.

The 17 finalists were chosen as a result of their performance in their respective races in Sweden, with the first three from each category earning a place automatically with two additional spots available for wildcard riders judged to have impressed by the BLU CRU Racing Committee.

For 2025, the winners of each class will not only receive an invitation to the BLU CRU Masterclass, but will also be offered the chance to race in the first-ever YZ BLU CRU World SuperFinale, taking place alongside the prestigious Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations at Ironman Raceway, Indiana, between 3-5 October. This brand-new event hosted by Yamaha Motor USA will follow the same successful format as the YZ BLU CRU European Cup SuperFinale and offers the three young riders invited to compete against rivals from across the globe.

The 2025 YZ BLU CRU European Cup SupeFinale saw close and competitive racing across the three classes, making the choice of the BLU CRU Racing Committee especially difficult on the wildcard places for the Masterclass.

In the YZ65 class, race winner Tymon Andrzejewski from Poland will head to the Masterclass alongside second placed Jann Huisman, whose podium finish earned him a place at his second Masterclass event, with Spain’s Biel Vilalta also automatically earning his spot from his third-place podium finish. The wildcard riders for the YZ65 class are Tommy Wood (Great Britain), who fought valiantly for the podium in the SuperFinale before a late crash ruled him out, and the Netherland’s Marcio van Laars, who impressed the BLU CRU Racing Committee with his speed in Qualifying before unfortunately being ruled out of the race in the early stages.

New Zealand’s Nixon Coppins, who is part of the YZ BLU CRU program in the United Kingdom, was the only dominant victor of the 2025 SuperFinale, storming to the win by over 17 seconds in the YZ85 race. He automatically earns a place at the Masterclass for the second time after being chosen as a wildcard rider in 2024. He’ll be joined by second-placed Thijs van den Bogaard and former YZ65 SuperFinale winner Willads Gordon (Denmark), who took third in the YZ85 class this time around. Ivan Vidal of Spain, who just missed out on a podium finish in the closing stages of the YZ85 race has been given a wildcard entry alongside Leo Gasjer of Slovenia, who finished seventh in this year’s race. Elin Rotsthen of Sweden joins the YZ85 riders as the highest placed female rider in the YZ85 SuperFinale.

An action-packed YZ125 SuperFinale saw fireworks in Sweden with at least three different leaders throughout the race, but it was the UK’s Drew Stock who came out victorious ahead of fellow countrymen Hayden Statt. Denmark’s Bertram Thorius, who led the race twice before finishing third joins the two Brits in automatic qualification for the Masterclass. The trio are joined by wildcard entrants Storm Maymann of Denmark and Alejandro Torres of Spain, with Tiril Ottesen, the fastest female YZ125 rider, also earning a space at the Masterclass later this year.

The Masterclass offers these young riders, aged between eight and 16 years, a unique opportunity to showcase their skills while training under the guidance of esteemed coaches and BLU CRU ambassadors, including former Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP rider Gautier Paulin, 2022 Women’s Motocross World Champion Nancy van de Ven and BLU CRU rider coach Brian Jørgensen. At the end of the two-day event, one rider from each class will be declared the winner.

The YZ125 winner will secure a place on a Yamaha-supported team, competing on a GYTR-kitted YZ125 in the 2026 EMX125 Championship. Additionally, the winners of the YZ65 and YZ85 categories will receive valuable support from Yamaha Motor Europe for their 2026 campaigns.

UDDEVALLA (Sweden) 17 August 2025 – The 2025 Yamaha YZ BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale concluded in Uddevalla, Sweden, on Sunday with a thrilling finale as Nixon Coppins and Drew Stock secured victories in the YZ85 and YZ125 classes respectively. 

The day got underway with the YZ125 race and it was a frenetic affair, with Bertram Thorius taking the holeshot ahead of Hayden Statt, Drew Stock and polesitter Storm Maymann. 

Thorius had built a lead of over a second by the end of the first lap, with Statt and Stock lying second and third until Statt crashed out on the second lap, folding the front and rejoining in fourth position. 

Further drama would strike on lap five, as race leader Thorius crashed out of the lead. Remounting in fifth, the Danish rider was seven seconds behind new leader Stock. A determined Thorius pushed hard to bring the gap down, halving it by the end of lap eight before finding himself on Stock’s tail on lap nine. Re-taking the lead, Thorius found that Stock wasn’t going to let him get away. Putting up a fight, the British rider pushed hard to stay with Thorius, with an exciting battle ensuing which saw the leading duo touch at least once as the race came to its conclusion. The pressure was on, and after the coming together, Thorius tried to get away but another crash from the lead put pay to his victory chances with three laps to go. 

Meanwhile, after his earlier crash, Statt had moved back into the podium positions and was promoted to second following Thorius’ second crash. Again undeterred, Thorius tried to regain second place but Statt put up a fight to hold on for a British 1-2 with Thorius crossing the line third overall. 

Maymann, from Denmark, took fourth ahead of Spaniards Alejandro Torres and Jose Luis Moreno, who had been in podium contention until falling in the latter stages. 

British Lucas Moncrieff was seventh ahead of Szymon Masarczyk from Poland and Kay Zijlstra from the Netherlands. Israeli Tal Ovadia rounded out the top ten. 

Drew Stock – YZ125, 1st 
“I was definitely under pressure! I got quite a bit of arm pump, I couldn’t hold on. I tried to shake it off but I couldn’t. I nipped up the inside at the start, came out in second. My goal was to win, I was doubting myself a bit, but I pushed, I didn’t know if I could hold on in those last few laps but I just kept pushing.”

There was little drama in the YZ85 class, as polesitter Nixon Coppins’ put in an almost flawless race for a dominant win. Narrowly missing the holeshot didn’t hamper the Yamaha Motor UK entered New Zealander, who took the lead in the first few turns and built an impressive 16 second lead by the time of the chequered flag. 

After taking the holeshot, Dutch up-and-comer Thijs van den Bogaard held on to second place, while Denmark’s Willads Gordon chased down Spain’s Ivan Vidal to steal the final podium spot in the closing stages of the race. 

Nael Lehmann of Switzerland finished fifth ahead of Austria’s Maurice Heidegger with Slovenian Leo Gasjer, Danish Lucas Taylor, Finnish Miska Laine and Dutch Brett Kastelijn completing the top ten.

Nixon Coppins – YZ85, 1st 
“I got a good start and was really happy with that, and then I managed to reel off the laps. I haven’t had many wins this year, so it’s nice to finally get one! Dad won here 20 years ago, and he was telling me on the way here, so it’s nice to be able to do that too!”

UDDEVALLA (Sweden 16 August 2025) –  Tymon Andrzejewski of Poland fought back from a first lap crash to take victory in the 2025 Yamaha YZ65 BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale in front of a packed crowd at the MXGP of Sweden in Uddevalla.

Having set the quickest time in Saturday morning’s qualifier, Andrzejewski established himself as favourite for the afternoon’s race but it would be anything but simple for the young Polish racer, who was eighth into turn one after a difficult start.

Britain’s Tommy Wood took an impressive holeshot to take an early lead ahead of Spain’s Biel Vilalta and the Netherlands’ Jann Huisman but despite the tough start Andrzejewski was on the charge and into podium contention halfway around the first lap.

Huisman took the lead towards the end of lap one, but then drama would strike as the Dutch rider fell, forcing a chasing Andrzejewski to take evasive action, with the Pol also falling on the opening lap. This meant Britain’s Tommy Wood inherited the lead, while Huisman and Andrzejewski remounted in fourth and fifth respectively.

Vilalta took over the lead at the start of the second lap, but Andrzejewski was pushing hard to regain his lost ground, moving into third on lap three before taking to the front as the fourth lap begun with a minute left on the clock.

Drama struck for Tommy Wood on the fourth lap as he crashed out of third place, promoting a charging Jann Huisman to third. With Andzrejewski escaping at the front, Huisman was closing in on Vilalta for second place, and the Spaniard put him a strong fight but lost the position on the penultimate lap.

With one lap remaining, Andzrejewski’s lead sat at 3.5 seconds over Huisman, but halfway around the final lap the Dutch rider had sliced that by more than half to sit 1.5 seconds behind, leaving the race open to a dramatic finish. Despite an incredible effort, Huisman would cross the line just over a second behind, meaning Andrzejewski became the first Polish rider to win the YZ65 Cup SuperFinale.

Spain’s Vilalta crossed the line third, ahead of Tommy Wood who was able to remount and recover from a small fall to finish fourth for the second year in a row. Francesco Vitale of Italy finished fifth ahead of Greece’s Dimitris Fotopoulos.

Elis Isidorsson was the highest-placed home rider for Sweden in seventh, with Ramon Bernardo Campos Muñoz of Spain taking eighth. Great Britain’s Cameron Berry and Denmark’s Viggo Alhede completed the top ten.

Tymon Andrzejewski : “I am very happy! It was a difficult race, made more difficult by the crash on lap one when Huisman crashed in front of me and I tried to go around and made a mistake myself. But I did not give up, and pushed very hard and I am extremely happy to get the race win.”
