The AmPro Yamaha race team has announced that rising star Josh Toth will be racing internationally in 2017. The K&N-sponsored AmPro team is enthusiastically backing Toth’s ascent in the motorcycle off-road racing world.

“We recently received the good news that Josh Toth will be joining the 2017 US Junior Trophy Team and representing this great country in France aboard his factory Yamaha YZ250FX,” reported AmPro Marketing Coordinator Brian Elliott.

AmPro is looking to build on the foundation of success that Toth started last year in the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE).

“In 2016, Josh finished the ISDE as the number one club team rider in the world,” said Elliot. “We are excited to see what he can do this year!”

To train both mind and body for this year’s event, Josh has decided to compete in select National Enduro Series races. In round 4 of the series in Greensboro, Georgia, Toth showed he was up to the task. He finished the Cherokee National Enduro with an impressive 3rd overall against some of the best riders in the business.

“I rode pretty good in the beginning, but I couldn’t stay off the ground,” said Toth. “I like the mud, so when it started raining I think I got stronger. I’m getting better at this tight stuff and I definitely had a lot of fun.”

The podium finish is the Connecticut rider’s best result to date. Toth’s success at the Cherokee National Enduro bodes well for his continued development in the sport.
