They aleast got a third place finish two weeks ago so they got better towards the end of the season but the season is over now so they got to start from stratch next season.I did noticed that this nytro is much different from what they rode at the start of the season(very trick bulk-head on the later model,something for a production model no doubt). By the way,how did they do in the heat races?my link to ISOC results is screw up.

I heard no team for next year. Too bad as the publicity is good for Yamaha. In these times I guess expenses have to be justified.

Wounder if Yamaha has some sort of partnering with Polaris...??? Skid is polaris. front end looks to have polarislike geometry and the bulk looks Rushlike.. And the rush has fasteners and looks from an Apex..??

I will be shocked if there is no team next year,this is there TEST BED of new sled design.

Yes. nice to see yamahas fighting for podiums, hopefully next year they will be healthy, have some luck (i don't know how many times Taylor has been knocked out of the track) And they made some great improvment the last couple of races, should make for a better baseline setup for next year!
Although the pro open class is getting smaller and smaller
