Yamaha India hosts 3S Grand Prix 2024–25 to champion dealership excellence
(IYM) successfully held the
Yamaha National 3S Grand Prix
2024–25, a skill-based competition that celebrates the dedication and expertise of its dealership staff across Sales, Service, and Spares (3S). The initiative is part of Yamaha's ongoing efforts to elevate
customer service
and strengthen its premium brand experience at the dealership level.
The contest featured five key categories—Technician, Service Advisor, Tele-Caller (newly introduced), Parts Manager, and Sales Consultant—evaluating participants on their technical know-how, customer engagement, communication skills, and operational efficiency.
This year's competition witnessed a record participation of 7,567 entries, beginning with Regional rounds held from August 15 to September 30, 2024. The top five performers from each category and zone moved to the Zonal Contests between February 17 and March 18, 2025. The grand finale took place on June 24–25 at Yamaha's Surajpur facility in Greater Noida, with 40 finalists competing for national honours.
The winners were felicitated by Yamaha's top management. Notably, the champion in the
Technician category
will represent India at the
World Technician Grand Prix 2025
in Japan this November.
Continuing the legacy
Originally launched in 2010 with 350 technicians, the Grand Prix has grown significantly over the years, reflecting Yamaha's investment in skill-building. The inclusion of the Tele-Caller category this year further expanded its reach.
To support this initiative, Yamaha also runs the
Yamaha Motor Academy
(YMA), a global training program aimed at developing dealership staff into professionals who deliver expert service and premium customer engagement.
Ravinder Singh, Senior Vice President, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd., said, 'The Yamaha National 3S Grand Prix reflects our deep commitment to nurturing frontline talent and recognizing the critical role they play in delivering an exceptional experience for our customers.'

Czech MotoGP 2025 Qualifying: Bagnaia grabs first pole of the season
Twice MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia claimed his first pole position of the season at the Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix on Saturday, edging out Ducati teammate Marc Marquez, who crashed on his final qualifying lap. Bagnaia crossed the line with the fastest time of one minute and 52.303 seconds in mostly sunny conditions in Brno, with Marquez qualifying second and Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo completing the front row. Marquez was chasing an eighth pole of the season but slid into the gravel in the final minutes of second qualifying. 'I want to say thanks to my team - they did a fantastic job when I stopped for a little moment. We just did a little adjustment,' Bagnaia said. 'It will be tricky for the tyres this afternoon,' he added, referring to the Czech MotoGP sprint later on Saturday. Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin marked his return to qualifying with a 12th-place finish after missing 10 of the 11 rounds because of injuries. Wrist and ankle injuries suffered in a pre-season crash had ruled the 27-year-old Martin out of the first three rounds before another crash in his first race on board the Aprilia bike in Qatar in April led to a collapsed lung and bruised ribs. VR46 Racing's Fabio Di Giannantonio, fourth in the riders' championship, will start 13th on the grid after finishing third in qualifying one. Marquez leads the riders' championship table with 344 points, with his younger brother Alex second on 261.

Motorcycling-Emotional Martin happy to be back competing after injury setbacks
July 19 (Reuters) - Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin said he was glad to be back on the race track at the Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix after missing 10 of the 11 rounds because of injuries. Wrist and ankle injuries suffered in a pre-season crash ruled the 27-year-old Spaniard out of the first three rounds before another crash in his first race on board the Aprilia bike in Qatar in April led to a collapsed lung and bruised ribs. He marked his comeback with an impressive fifth place finish at the Czech MotoGP practice in Brno on Friday. "I miss this feeling a lot and just focused," Martin told reporters. "It was a really demanding day, having all these conditions on track. We had to be always really focused. "The dry line was really narrow in some corners so it was difficult to be consistent. I missed the consistency by being out for a lot of months. "It was really emotional after finishing in the top five, not because of the result itself, but because I am back. I did a great job today. I am really happy." Friday's practice session was Martin's first time on the Aprilia in the rain. Martin won his first MotoGP title last season with Pramac Racing before moving to Aprilia. "I cannot be really optimistic when I go into the corners because I don't know what is going to happen," he said. "So I need to start feeling the things, but as soon as I put on some more tyres, I was always in the top four, top five." The Czech MotoGP qualifying takes place later on Saturday, with the race happening on Sunday. Six-times MotoGP champion Marc Marquez leads the riders' championship table with 344 points, with his younger brother Alex second on 261.
