Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing have signed Supercross Futures champion Cole Davies to a multi-year deal. The New Zealand native will debut with the team at this weekend’s Scouting Moto Combine ahead of the RedBud National.

Davies made waves racing Supercross Futures this season on a GasGas where he won two races including the winner-take-all finale at Salt Lake City. He now joins Star Racing as an amateur rider and will race with the program likely to continue into Supercross Futures next year as he is still just 16-years-old.

“I’m excited to get the first race underway with the team at RedBuddddd!” said Davies. “I’ve been enjoying riding with the boys, and I’m loving the bike. I can’t wait to line up and race this weekend.”

“We’re excited to welcome Cole to our team,” said team manager Jensen Hendler. “We feel he has a bright future and will be a great addition to our program. We get to kick things off this weekend at RedBud with the first Scouting Moto Combine of the year, and we are looking forward to seeing what he can do aboard our YZ250F.”
