Super X rider Jay Marmont

 

 

Hailing from Wollongong NSW, 27 year old CDR Rockstar Yamaha Rider Jay Marmont comes from a motorcross mad family. He has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most determined riders. Jay clinched an unprecedented fourth consecutive Pro Open Class Australian Motocross title at the end of July 2011. He is now focussed his attention on winning his first Super X title.

Jay has extended his relationship with the Yamaha factory team and will continue to headline Yamaha’s motocross campaign for the 2011 season making this the fourth year with CDR Rockstar Yamaha in what has become one of the most successful partnerships in Australian motocross history. Marmont has been the dominant rider in Australian motocross since joining the CDR Rockstar Yamaha team and the decision to continue was a relatively simple one for the Wollongong based champion.

The new deal will see Jay defend his national motocross championship for the fourth year running and also compete in the high profile and internationally recognised Australasian Super X series that kicks off in October 2010. Jay will campaign the revolutionary Yamaha YZ450F, the most technologically advanced motcross bike on the market.

In 2010 Jay Marmont won his third Australian MX National motocross championship in a row and etched his name alongside the legends of the sport. Marmont is a fierce competitor known for his dogged determination and his ability to win races when they must be won.

He also earned a spot on the three man team that represents Australia in the 2010 MX Olympics – the Motocross of Nations. Simply put, Marmont is the man to beat in Australian motocross.
