The best Yamaha technicians from Europe gathered in May 2023 at YME's Head Office in Amsterdam to compete in the 10th Edition of the European Technician Grand Prix.
The event, organized by YME's Yamaha Motor Academy, is hosted every two years and is one of the most prestigious awards of its kind in the industry.
The intensive, two-day competition included 6 practical tasks and 1 theory exam, all designed to test the technical knowledge and practical skills of 15 winners of national competitions from Yamaha distributors throughout Europe which were held in 2019 and early 2020.
Participants were extra motivated as they also had the chance to win one of the 3 spots for a trip to the Global Award Ceremony at the Yamaha Motor Global Headquarters in Iwata, Japan.
There was a great display of healthy competition, professionalism, and camaraderie.
The top 3 technicians earning their spots are:
1. Georgios Kontes from Spiliotis AE, Greece.
2. Daniel Ahlroth from Veljekset Ahlroth Oy, Finland.
3. Thomas de Chivre from Only Yam, France.
The awards were handed over by YME President Eric de Seynes. The winners received their awards full of emotions after the two days of intense challenges they went through.
We consider it important to recognize their successful journeys to inspire and motivate you. That's why we're sharing this special video with you.
Congratulations to all!
