American Riders Heading To Jerez For FIM Intercontinental Games

Riders from countries around the world are heading to Spain for the 2024 City of Jerez FIM Intercontinental Games, which will see teams of riders on YZF-R3 and FZ7 Yamahas race for an international title. All 48 participating riders are required to wear spec Airoh helmets and Spidi leathers, boots, and gloves.

In a surprising development, FIM North America team rider Rocco Landers declined to attend at the last moment, and was replaced by Andrew Lee.

Americans participating include Avery Dreher, Mikayla Moore, Max Toth, and Matthew Chapin riding R3 Yamahas in SSP 300. Americans riding R7 Yamaha in SSP include Hayden Schultz, Mallory Dobbs, Blake Davis, and Andrew Lee. Former racer Michael Martin is the FIM North America Team Manager.

Chapin, Davis, Dreher, Lee, and Moore are all current or recent MotoAmerica Champions.

Reached by phone, Rocco Landers said he was injured while training and shouldn’t ride this week.
