Now begins the 2025 of the Evan Bros team, which just this morning announced the two young riders who will defend its colors in the upcoming World Supersport season. Three years after the last time, the team captained by Fabio Evangelista will in fact return to field two Yamahas at the start of the championship, always enjoying the official support of the Iwata manufacturer. And it will entrust its R9s to the hands of the experienced Can Oncu and rookie Aldi Satya Mahendra, fresh Supersport 300 World Champion.
As we anticipated, Oncu is about to inaugurate a new chapter in his career. Riding a Yamaha for the first time, after five seasons with the Kawasaki of the Puccetti Racing team.
"Theyear 2025 for me represents a new beginning, which I look forward to together with Yamaha and Evan Bros," said the 21-year-old, " I am motivated and eager to achieve great results, riding a new bike and therefore to get to know. I thank all those who have placed their trust in me."
A new challenge also awaits 18-year-old Mahendra, who is ready for the jump in his category after winning the title last season in SSP300.
"I am really happy to be promoted to the WorldSSP Championship, with a great team like Evan Bros. This is a new challenge: I will have to learn step by step, while trying to adapt to the bike and the category, to get good results as soon as possible," said the Indonesian rider.
A new lineup that aims to give great satisfaction to the Ravenna-based team, which will face its first outing with its two new riders in a two-day test, scheduled at the Cremona circuit on Thursday, November 7 and Friday, November 8.
"I am very happy with this new project. As soon as Yamaha Motor Europe proposed this to me I accepted with enthusiasm, since we will be able to work with two young and fast riders.I had been following both Aldi and Can for some time: Aldi in this 2024 has surprised me for his mentality and maturity, while Can has already shown that he can be a protagonist in the SSP World Championship - commented Team Principal Fabio Evangelista - I thank Yamaha Motor Europe and therefore Paolo Pavesio, Andrea Dosoli and Nicolò Canepa for the trust placed in us. We are very motivated, relative to both the new Yamaha R9 and the riders, and the days spent at Germo di Lesmo were very useful in view of the future. We are looking forward to getting started."
