Colt Nichols moves to PRMX Yamaha Partzilla, his fifth team in five seasons

Colt Nichols is set to join Team ROKiT Partzilla PRMX Yamaha for the 2027 season, marking his fifth team in just five years. Nichols concluded the Monster Energy Supercross 450 division in 15th place and placed 16th in the SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs. Prior to this move, Nichols had raced for four different teams in the span of four seasons, including Team Honda, Rick Ware Racing, the Factory Beta team, and the Twisted Tea Suzuki team.

Casey Cochran completed the 250 puzzle for 2027 SuperMotocross by signing with Yamaha Star Racing, following the departure of Factory Husqvarna. Dan Beaver highlighted his career highlight as winning the 250 SX East divisional championship in 2021; however, this victory came with a downside as he was forced to move up to the 450 division due to Supercross rules, and found himself without a spot on Yamaha's premier team.

Speaking about his new team, Nichols expressed his happiness in returning to a Yamaha bike, which he found to be "home." Nichols competed for Yamaha since 2016 and feels excited to be back on the team. He hopes to replicate the success he experienced in his 250 days while riding for the new team. Team owner Julien Perrier expressed excitement about having Nichols join the team and believes he will fit perfectly with their lineup. Nichols will continue to run his iconic No. 45 and will keep his nickname "Colt 45".
