Hugely talented Kiwi Cole Davies signs with Star Racing
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is pleased to announce a multi-year deal with Cole Davies.

Words: Star Racing
One of the sport’s top-up-and-coming riders, Davies made his U.S. debut in 2023 and has enjoyed a standout sophomore year in Supercross Futures. The 16-year-old won the opening qualifying round at Anaheim 2, scored two podiums, and secured his second 250SX Futures victory at the championship-deciding round at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season finale in Salt Lake City, Utah, to be crowned the 2024 Supercross Futures AMA National Champion. Davies looks to add more amateur national titles to his resume and will battle for top honours aboard the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing YZ250F at the Scouting Moto Combines, the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, and in Supercross Futures.
