🔵 SECONDO ANNO NEL WORLDSBK PER RATO, PRIMA STAGIONE COMPLETA PER SMITS

✅ Il Yamaha Motoxracing WorldSBK Team ha completato la propria formazione per la prossima stagione: Mattia Rato e Twan Smits guideranno le due YZF-R1 della squadra italiana anche nel 2027.

🇮🇹 Rato proseguirà il percorso iniziato quest’anno, dopo una stagione d’esordio trascorsa ad accumulare esperienza e a costruire un rapporto sempre più solido con la squadra. Il giovane italiano ha conquistato i suoi primi punti nel Mondiale al Balaton Park e a Cremona.

🇳🇱 Conferma anche per Smits, arrivato nel team in sostituzione di Bahattin Sofuoğlu negli ultimi tre Round del 2026. Supportato dal programma Yamaha BLU CRU, l’olandese affronterà così la sua prima stagione completa nel WorldSBK.

🔧 Le due R1 riceveranno importanti aggiornamenti tecnici e saranno portate all’ultima specifica disponibile. Un sostegno con il quale Yamaha vuole permettere a Motoxracing di sviluppare il lavoro svolto nel 2026 e avvicinarsi con maggiore continuità alla zona punti.

🗣 “Abbiamo scelto di dare continuità al lavoro con Mattia e Twan. Mattia è cresciuto molto e ha creato un forte legame con il team, mentre l’approccio e le qualità di Twan ci hanno convinto ad affidargli una stagione completa”, ha spiegato il team principal Sandro Carusi.

🆕📰 Challenging But Productive Day At Jerez For Smits And Rato

The first race of the final round of the 2026 WorldSBK season took place yesterday at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain.

In Superpole, Smits qualified 21st (1’39.374) despite a late crash, just ahead of Rato in 22nd (1’39.563).

Both riders made strong starts in Race 1, joining the group battling for points and gaining positions. Smits finished 19th, ahead of Rato, after a close battle between the two teammates.
Today, both riders will compete in the Superpole Race and Race 2, bringing the 2026 season to a close.

Sandro Carusi | Team Principal 🗣️ “Both riders improved their lap times in Superpole, although things didn’t go as hoped. In Race 1, Mattia and Twan battled until the final lap, allowing us to collect valuable data for tomorrow’s races.”

Twan Smits 🗣️ “My crash in Superpole prevented me from setting a better time. Changes made before Race 1 didn’t work as expected, and I lost front-end feeling. We’ll return to our previous setup and aim to fight for points, whatever the weather.”

@ratomatty13 🗣️ “We worked hard to find a competitive setup. The bike improved in the race, but I’m still not completely satisfied. We’ll analyse the data and make adjustments for tomorrow, depending on the weather conditions.”
