The Even Strokes Yoko Racing Team has been chosen!

Wow, what can we say? It took two of us over 2 weeks to get through all 300 plus emails, check your social media and then come to a decision as to who would fit with the Yoko and Even Strokes brands going forward, trust us, this was not easy! First and foremost we would like to thank every single one of you for applying for a sponsored ride. For us this was never about choosing the fastest riders possible, this was about selecting riders that would represent the brands professionally, love motocross and appreciate and understand the commitment both parties need to put in, plus riders that require some help to make motocross more affordable. We could name the team the ‘mid pack mafia’ as that is what we were looking for, the hard working guys & girls who ride for fun, would love to improve and appreciate the tiniest bit of help.  


So what started out as picking 5 riders, turned into 10 quite quickly as we didn’t want to leave so many people disappointed. However over the past 7 days trying to narrow 10 riders was going to be tough and leave another 15 or so disappointed when they came so close. Because of this and against our better judgment we are going to invest a bit more money into this programme and see how far we can take it over the next 18 months by working with an awesome group of riders 19 riders of all ages and abilities! What we have now in essence is a sponsorship programme split into two tiers, providing full sponsorship to 11 riders (Tier 1) and support for 7 riders (Tier 2) who can work their way up to get maximum support.


These 18 riders will be part of our 2020 programme for the rest of the year and 2021,
