“It was a pleasure to have Dean Ferris filling in for the opening rounds of the 2019 Lucas Oil Motocross Championship while Aaron was recovering from injury. Now that Aaron has returned to his #7 YZ450F, the Aussie national champ has decided to return home down under. The Monster Energy Factory Yamaha team appreciated his strong work ethic and commitment while in the states. We wish him all the best in the future,” says Perry as quoted from Yamaha Racing.
