Valentin Debise will compete in the 2024 Supersport World Championship with Evan Bros. Yamaha. This is one of the main teams in the category, particularly notable for Andrea Locatelli’s title in 2020.
At 31 years old, Debise has extensive experience in motorcycle racing. He has competed in full seasons in the 250cc and Moto2 World Championships, as well as in WSSP and the Superbike World Championship.
This year, the Frenchman had his first full season in WSSP and finished the championship in fifth place, with two podiums. He represented GMT94 Yamaha, so he arrives at Evan Bros. already familiar with the YZF-R6 he will be riding.
Team manager Fabio Evangelista commented: ‘During 2023, I had the opportunity to meet Valentin several times and immediately a great feeling was born. At the end of the season, we started talking about a possible collaboration in 2024: an idea that became a goal after the test we did together in Jerez. We are convinced that we can aim for top positions next season, in compatibility with the balance among the various bikes in the field. As a team, we have decided to believe in Yamaha once again, just as the factory believes in us, and certainly the fifth place achieved by Valentin in the R6 in the last season is a good starting point for 2024. Now we have a winter of work ahead of us, to optimize our setup in every detail and arrive ready for the first round in Phillip Island‘.
