BIKE

Since 2015 on the tracks of the FIM Superbike World Championship, the Yamaha R1 has proven itself in recent years, winning 3 podiums in 2020 with Garrett Gerloff. For the 2021 season our YZF R1 has a completely new livery and thanks to our team of professionals is ready to compete in this Championship towards victory.

RIDERS

Garrett Gerloff #31
He has been in our team since 2020 and is the American star who rides his YZF R1 like a real Cowboy. After his debut in MotoAmerica Supersport in 2015, he took third place on his first attempt, to win the title in 2016 and 2017. In 2018 he stepped up to MotoAmerica Superbike class with the official Yamaha Team and in 2019 he finished the year in third position. After only a little more than a year on his WorldSBK YZF R1, he is ready to fight for the podium in the 2021 World Superbike Championship.

Kohta Nozane #3
Besides being one of the first Japanese riders to race for Yamaha in the FIM Superbike World Championship, Kohta is our Samurai who doesn't miss a move. After being crowned J-GP2 champion of the All Japan Championship in 2013, he steps up to the JSB1000 class the following year. In 2019 finished 3rd on the final standings and was crowned Champion in 2020. We can't wait to see his next hits on his World Superbike debut in 2021.
