In a recent interview, Yamaha CEO Mike Chrzanowski stirred excitement among motocross fans with his comments on two of the sport’s biggest names—Jett Lawrence and Eli Tomac. Chrzanowski, in his candid conversation, praised the young Australian sensation Jett Lawrence, who has been making waves in the motocross world, and reflected on Yamaha’s position regarding their star rider, Eli Tomac.
Chrzanowski openly expressed his admiration for Lawrence, whose meteoric rise has caught the attention of fans and industry leaders alike. “Jett Lawrence is truly conquering the motocross world right now,” Chrzanowski said. “We would have loved to have worked with him. It’s no secret that he’s one of the most talented young riders in the sport, and signing him alongside Eli Tomac would have been a dream for Yamaha.”
Lawrence, who currently rides for Honda, has quickly become a dominant force, taking home numerous titles in recent years. While Yamaha may not have secured the young star, Chrzanowski’s comments suggest that the company is keeping a close eye on his career, hinting at potential future collaborations.
In addition to praising Lawrence, Chrzanowski also addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding Eli Tomac’s potential retirement. Tomac, a veteran rider with a decorated career, has been a cornerstone of Yamaha’s success. Speculation has grown that he may hang up his boots in 2025, but Chrzanowski was quick to clarify the situation.
“Everything is up to Eli,” Chrzanowski said. “He’s earned the right to make that decision whenever he feels it’s time. But if he chooses to stay on for a few more years, we’d be more than willing to continue working with him. He’s been an incredible asset to Yamaha, and we support him no matter what he decides.”
While Tomac’s future in motocross is uncertain, Yamaha remains committed to supporting him, whether he opts for retirement or continues racing.
Chrzanowski’s remarks underscore Yamaha’s strategic approach to securing top talent in the motocross world. With Lawrence representing the future and Tomac as a proven veteran, Yamaha seems focused on maintaining a balance of experience and fresh talent.
As Jett Lawrence continues to rise and Eli Tomac’s future remains a topic of speculation, motocross fans are left wondering whether Yamaha will make any bold moves in the near future. One thing is clear: the company is committed to staying at the forefront of the sport, with an eye on both the present and the future.
