Yamaha Star Racing will field seven riders in 2025 with three racers competing in the Monster Energy Supercross 250 West division and four in 250 East.
Haiden Deegan shifts from the Eastern division in 2024 to the West and will be joined by Michael Mosiman and rookie Cole Davies.
Deegan finished second by four points in the Eastern division behind champion Tom Vialle and has been vocal about wanting to win a 250 SX championship before moving up to the 450 division.
Mosiman returns to action this year after racing twice in 2024 in Supercross and missing the entire Motocross season while recuperating from injury.
Max Anstie, Nate Thrasher, Pierce Brown, and Daxton Bennick will race in the Eastern division.
Anstie made the move to Yamaha Star Racing midway through the Pro Motocross schedule in 2024. He competed in the East last year with Firepower Honda and finished fifth in points.
Thrasher also suffered through injuries with a broken collarbone and severe hematoma to his leg during the season, but held on to finish fifth in Supercross points.
Brown is a new addition to the team after moving over from Troy Lee Designs at the conclusion of the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship. He ended his tenure with that team with a victory in the season finale at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Bennick raced in the 250 East division last year and finished ninth in points.
