YAMAHA TO COMPETE IN CORPORATE COLOURS IN VALENCIA
06 November 2005 - Yamaha Racing

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 colour scheme

This follows the Yamaha Factory Team''s earlier showing of the yellow and black traditional US racing colours in the US MotoGP round at Laguna Seca earlier this year.

As a result, the YZR-M1 machines of Yamaha Factory Racing riders Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards will sport the famous red, white and black colours, 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, painted in Yamaha''s corporate racing colours.

The Team will present itself with the riders and bikes on Thursday, November 3 at 17.00 on the Valencia circuit main straight for a photo call.

Yamaha has enjoyed probably its 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 colours Yamaha endeavours 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''.
