The amalgamation of the DP19 Yamaha Official EMX250 Team and fellow Italian squad SDM Corse MX Team - to form ASTES4-TESAR Yamaha - will mean Yamaha Motor Europe will be able to count on a first class set-up in 2017 European Championship motocross and a vital stage of development in the manufacturer's structure to reach the very top of the sport. Fabio Tognella will be overseeing the new 'wing' as Marketing Manager with Daniele Marchese as Team Manager and former MX1 (MXGP) World Champion David Philippaerts as Rider Manager.
