Coldenhoff had offers to ride in the US, but they weren't as financially lucrative as the one he received here in Brazil. He will earn 200,000 euros, in addition to bonuses for wins and titles.

Furthermore, Yamaha received financial backing from a bank (C6 Bank), whose main shareholder is JPMorgan Chase, so it's clear that investment in Brazil has been increasing.

The #259 will race pre-season international events in Europe, and all dutch championship rounds too.

It's a little crazy, but how many MXGP riders finishing in 5th-15th are now looking at racing in Brazil. Quite a few I reckon. Brazil seems to be the place to go looking at other replies on this thread.

It will be interesting to see if there is a solution to make MXGP commercially more attractive to bike and industry brands. 

i mean i'm sure Coldenhoff can get a free factory ride somewhere. And apparently there isnt a possibility or interest for a couple of gear, helmet and goggles brands to pony up 300k together to give the nr 3 of the world a better offer.
