[9] Elzinga was eventually welcomed back into the Yamaha fold for the 2022 European Motocross Championship, re-joining the official EMX250 team now in the hands of the Hutten Metaal squad.

He made four wildcard starts in the MX2 class of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship alongside this, making his debut in Trentino and scoring two seventh place finishes as his best results across those appearances.

[11] After his title winning season, Elzinga was signed by the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team for a full-time campaign in the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship.

Third place in the first race in Sweden was the highlight of the season, as he finished tenth in the final standings despite missing two rounds with a collarbone injury.
