Monster Energy Yamaha Rally Official Team Welcome Andrew Short and Ross Branch
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands (13 March 2020) - The #monsterenergyyamaharallyofficialteam are excited to announce a strengthened rider line-up for the 2020 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship, as #andrewshort and #rossbranch join the squad. Both racers showed impressive pace and the ability to overcome adversity at this year’s Dakar #rally and look set to become key members of the #monsterenergyyamaharallyofficialteam.
Andrew Short is one of the world’s most versatile and successful off-road motorcycle racers. A hugely experienced US supercross and motocross competitor, with close to 40 career podium results to his credit, he was also a winning member of the USA’s 2010 Motocross of Nations team.
Calling time on his 16-year supercross and motocross career, the Texas native switched to cross-country #rally #racing at the end of 2017. Competing in his first Dakar #rally in 2018, Andrew has since completed three Dakars, placed as runner-up in the 2019 Silk Way #rally and won the 2019 #rally du Maroc.
Ross Branch was one of the stand-out performers at the 2020 Dakar #rally. Quickly adjusting to the unpredictable Saudi Arabian terrain, the 33-year-old from Botswana won the event’s second stage, going on to challenge for further wins and take four more top-10 stage results, despite carrying an injury throughout the event.
Competing in his first Dakar #rally in 2019, Ross completed the South American event in 13th overall in the motorcycle class and as the event’s highest-finishing Rookie competitor. He also finished as runner-up in the Merzouga #rally and eighth in the #rally du Maroc in 2019.
Short and Branch were set to make their competitive debut for the #monsterenergyyamaharallyofficialteam at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge. However, with the opening event of the 2020 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship postponed due to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, the new target is #rally Kazakhstan, which runs from 24-29 May.
Andrew Short - Monster Energy Yamaha #rally Official TeamI am really excited to be joining the #monsterenergyyamaharallyofficialteam ahead of the 2020 FIM #rally World Championship. I’m looking forward to working with a new group of #people and a brand that has enjoyed a lot of success in #rally in the past. I know everyone in the team will be pushing me to improve and get better results. My main goal is Dakar 2021, but between now and then we hope to get a lot of #racing and preparation work done, and I can’t wait to get it all started.
Ross Branch - Monster Energy Yamaha #rally Official TeamJoining the #monsterenergyyamaharallyofficialteam is a dream come true for me. To become a part of an official factory #rally team is what I have been working hard to achieve over the last few years. The opportunity to work with a team that is focused on both Dakar and the #rally world championship is amazing for me. I want to improve as a racer and believe that I have the speed to get improved results. Winning a stage at Dakar this year was a huge boost for my confidence, now I have the support of Monster Energy Yamaha I’m excited to see what I can achieve.
Alexandre Kowalski - Yamaha Europe Off-Road #racing ManagerEveryone involved in the #monsterenergyyamaharallyofficialteam is extremely pleased to be welcoming both Andrew and Ross, two top riders that we are sure will deliver great results. They come from different continents and have very different riding backgrounds, but they both want to achieve more in #rally and are full of energy and enthusiasm. We saw at this year’s Dakar #rally that both riders were able to adapt to the event’s terrain, which was hugely important. Together with the team’s existing riders, we all look forward to working together and enjoying many great achievements together.
