It’s an exciting time for Dan Devine as the young rider from Northern Ireland prepares to make the step up to the 125cc class for the 2027 season, bringing his time in the 85cc ranks to an end.
Devine has secured a ride with Yamaha UK for next year, marking an important step forward in his motocross career. The move will see him focusing his racing in England as he continues his development and gain experience.
In addition to his UK racing programme, there is also the possibility of Devine contesting selected EMX125 rounds during the 2027 season, giving him the opportunity to gain valuable experience on the European stage.
The goal is also to compete in the Blu Cru class at the Motocross des Nations, which is set to take place in Assen next year. It would be a fantastic opportunity for the youngster to represent Yamaha and showcase his talent on an international stage.
With the move to 125cc machinery and an exciting programme ahead, 2027 looks set to be a big year for Devine as he takes the next step in his racing career.
“I am over the moon to be asked to ride for the 3 Flo Yamaha UK Team in 2027. Jeff Perrett the Team Manager had been watching me compete in the MXGB series and saw potential in me and had been in contact with us all year that if we were moving up to 125cc he wanted us in his team”, Devine told GateDrop.com.
“The expectations for 2027 are just to learn the Yamaha and get as much experience as possible in the new class with the hope of racing at the 125cc Blu Cru at the Motocross of Nations 2027”, concluded Devine.
The following announcement was made on social media:
“A big, warm welcome to the team to Dan Devine. We’re pumped to have Daniel join the 3 Flo / Crescent family for 2027 on board the awesome YZ125. Next year will be Daniel’s first year in the 125cc class and he will be competing in the ACU British Championship, MXGB Youth and the Plews Tyres British championships and selected EMX125cc rounds”.
“We’re really looking forward to working with Daniel and his family and helping him develop his obvious potential. Dan’s our man”
