Yamaha Motor Canada Ltd. National Manager – Service, Jeff Waite said “The Tech GP is a contest that pits the very best Yamaha technicians to promote Yamaha’s worldwide service network. For Canadian dealers and their technicians, Tech GP is a prestigious event rewarding their on-going training as well as a level of excellence and commitment.”

Nick will be traveling to Japan this September to take on Yamaha’s best technicians from across the globe in an attempt to be crowned World Champion.

Congratulations Nick and we wish you the best of luck in Japan!
