In the world of off-road racing, Yamaha has long stood as a symbol of performance, precision, and passion. Every Yamaha off-road competition bike is built with one goal in mind — to help riders reach their full potential, dominate the track, and find themselves in the Victory Zone. Whether it’s the thrilling youth-focused YZ65 and YZ85, the iconic two-strokes YZ125 and YZ250, or the championship-caliber YZ250F and YZ450F equipped with the exclusive Power Tuner app, Yamaha bikes share one defining trait: winners ride them.
That same winning spirit defines Stefan Everts, the ten-time MXGP World Champion, often hailed as one of the greatest motocross riders of all time. As part of motocross royalty — with his father Harry Everts also a multi-time world champion — Stefan’s legacy runs deep in the sport’s history. Now, the next generation carries that torch through his son, Liam Everts, a rising star in the MX2 class.
In a recent interview, Stefan opened up about the changes in his life as he transitions into a new chapter beyond racing. He reflected on the satisfaction of retiring at the top, proud that he left the sport while still competing at a championship level — rather than battling for mid-pack finishes. His focus now lies in supporting Liam’s promising career, guiding him through the highs and lows of professional motocross with the wisdom only a legend can offer.
Just like Yamaha’s machines, the Everts family legacy continues to inspire — built on excellence, precision, and an unbreakable bond between rider and machine. In the ever-evolving world of motocross, one thing remains certain: true champions, past and future, continue to choose Yamaha.
