Ryder Malinoski Signs Professional Contract with ClubMX Yamaha

In another decisive move that reinforces its commitment to long-term athlete development, ClubMX Yamaha has officially signed rising standout Ryder Malinoski to a professional contract, locking in one of the sport’s most promising young talents and outlining a clear path toward the professional ranks. 

While Malinoski has secured his future as a professional racer, his immediate focus remains on continued growth and results at the amateur level. He will carry out a full amateur campaign throughout the 2026 season, targeting elite performances in the SMX Next program and the sport’s most prestigious amateur event, the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National, while continuing to prepare for a seamless transition to professional competition. 

The agreement reflects ClubMX Yamaha’s proven philosophy: identify talent early, commit with intention, and build athletes through structure, culture, and long-term vision rather than short-term pressure. 

“Signing this contract is a huge milestone for me,” said Malinoski. “ClubMX believed in me early, and that means everything. The environment here pushes you to  be better every single day—on the bike, off the bike, and mentally. I’m fully focused on making the most of my amateur season in 2026, chasing my goals in SMX Next and at Loretta Lynn’s,  and proving I’m ready for what’s next when the time comes.” 

Malinoski will continue training full-time at the ClubMX facility in Chesterfield, South Carolina, one of the most comprehensive motocross training environments in the world. The program provides riders access to national-level motocross and supercross tracks, structured riding  programs, fitness and recovery resources, and a development system designed to replicate the demands of professional racing.

For ClubMX Yamaha General Manager Daniel Blair, the signing represents both confidence in the rider and belief in the development model the team has built. 

“Ryder is the complete package,” said Daniel Blair, General Manager of ClubMX Yamaha. “Speed matters, but what really stands out is his work ethic, maturity, and commitment to  improvement. This contract is about building the right foundation and giving Ryder a clear,  structured path to the professional level. We’re excited about his future, but we’re just as excited  about watching him attack 2026 the right way.” 

By securing Malinoski’s professional future while allowing him to continue developing at the amateur level, ClubMX Yamaha continues to set a standard within the industry, prioritizing  preparation, patience, and sustainability over rushed timelines.
