TANTI RETURNS TO CDR ON TWO-YEAR DEAL

Monster Energy CDR Yamaha Team’s current line-up with Aaron Tanti has been renewed, with a fresh new deal extending Tanti’s contract until the end of 2027. Tanti, alongside Jed Beaton, are set to form a formidable team in the coming years as both riders are skilled and competitive in both Motocross and Supercross.

The 2025 season was a tough one for Tanti with a neck injury sidelining him for the majority of the ProMX series as he recovered. He was thorough in his rehab and was able to return earlier than expected, racing the final two rounds of ProMX just to get some time on the racetrack and kick start his preparations for the upcoming Australian Supercross Championship.

The team are already in full swing for Supercross with testing well under way. The team will be mounted on the all new 2026 YZ450F, and initial impressions have been impressive as the team fine tunes the bike in
the lead up to Round 1 and 2 in Brisbane on October 11 and 12.

Aaron Tanti:
“I worked hard once I was given the approval to increase physical activity and hit a personal goal of being able to return to racing before the end of the ProMX. I think it’s put me in a good place for the Supercross Championship, and the team could see the effort I put and hopefully that helped them with their decision to re-sign me again for another two years.

CDR is the team I wanted to stay with and where I have had my best success. I have a good bond, not just with Craig, but everyone on the team and I’m pumped to get this deal done and know I have the best team in Australia backing me. I look forward to getting back into the full swing of racing and now the office work has been taken care of, I can give my full focus on going fast and getting the best results possible.”
