Andrea Mantovani Joins the Evan Bros Yamaha Team in WorldSSP for 2023

The Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team is pleased to announce the signing of Andrea Mantovani for the 2023 season, ready to make his debut in the World Supersport Championship riding the Ravenna based team's Yamaha YZF-R6. Born in Ferrara on 30 September 1994, Andrea has proved over the years to be a versatile rider, capable of being fast in several categories.

From 2016 to 2018 he showed his potential in Superstock 1000, where he obtained two fifth-place finishes, while in 2019 - 2020 he confirmed his speed in CIV Superbike, scoring a podium.

In 2021 he made his debut in the Superbike World Championship, contesting two rounds, and already managed to pick up – at a selective track like Assen - his first points. At the same time, he made his debut in MotoE, where he finished the season with an eighth place as his best result. In 2022, he was one of the main protagonists of the CIV Superbike, where he conquered fourth position in the championship thanks to four podiums. He also contested two rounds of the MotoE championship, taking fourth place at Mugello.

Now for Andrea, matured and improved season after season, it is time for a new challenge in WorldSSP, together with the 2019 and 2020 world champions.

I am really happy to have signed with the Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team, it is a wonderful opportunity. I will have to adapt quickly to riding the 600s, after a few seasons on the 1000s, but I am sure that by working hard we can be competitive straight away. We will start the season at two tracks that I don't know, but that shouldn't scare us: I can't wait to start this wonderful adventure.

I am very happy to welcome Andrea to the team. He's a guy we've been following for a while: we think he's an excellent rider, capable with the right items of expressing his high potential. He will certainly need a period of adaptation, but I'm sure together we can quickly have fun and get results. I want to thank Yamaha, who will support us again next season by believing in us, and all the partners who have made this agreement possible.
