WorldSBK Champions Yamaha and Ferodo continue to out-brake the competition
After a stunning FIM Superbike World Championship season in 2021, which saw the Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK team complete the "triple crown" of rider, manufacturer and team championships, Yamaha and technical partner Ferodo will continue the fight to out-brake their competition in 2022.
With defending champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and 2021 Rookie of the Year Andrea Locatelli, Yamaha's official WorldSBK entry will kick off its title defence campaign at the first round of the season from 8-10 April at MotorLand Aragon, Spain.
Turkish sensation Razgatlıoğlu's hard-on-the-brakes style, spectacular "stoppies" and unbelievable bike control has become a talking point across top-level motorcycle racing worldwide, and in 2021 a total of 13 race victories and 29 podiums broke Kawasaki's stronghold on the WorldSBK Championship in one of the most thrilling seasons of the production racing series' history.
While the spotlight has been shone on Yamaha's recent achievements, its success certainly hasn't happened overnight. Ferodo has supported the team - and its operations partner Crescent Racing - since Yamaha's return to WorldSBK in 2016.
Ferodo and Crescent's partnership spans more than ten years, both in WorldSBK and in UK off-road championships, with Yamaha's British MX entries including 2021 champions Cab Screens Crescent Yamaha with Estonian rider Harri Kullas.
