Yamaha compete in corporate racing colors in Valencia
Valencia, Spain
3/11/2005
To commemorate Yamaha's 50th Anniversary and its extraordinarily
successful year in racing this season, Yamaha has decided to race the last
round of the 2005 MotoGP World Championship in the company's traditional
red, white and black racing color scheme. This follows the Yamaha
Factory Team's earlier showing of the yellow and black traditional US racing
colors in the US MotoGP round at Laguna Seca.
As a result the YZR-M1 machines of Yamaha Factory Team riders Valentino
Rossi and Colin Edwards will sport the red, white and black colors as
seen on many of Yamaha's past factory racing bikes.
In fact in 1975, exactly 30 years ago, Yamaha won its first GP500 world
championship with Giacomo Agostini riding the then revolutionary
two-stoke OW23 YZR500, also painted in Yamaha's corporate racing colors.
The team will present itself with the riders and bikes on Thursday,
November 3 at 17.00 on the main straight for a photo call.
Yamaha has enjoyed probably the most successful year in racing ever,
winning no less the seven world titles across the MotoGP, MX1 and MX2
World Championships in truly dominant style.
By racing in the traditional corporate racing colors Yamaha endeavors
once more to exceed expectations and touch people's hearts, making sure
the 2005 racing season will be remembered for a long time to come as
Yamaha enters "the next 50".
