Defending MotoAmerica champion Jake Gagne will return to WorldSBK as a wildcard in Portugal with Yamaha.
The 29-year-old will ride a Yamaha R1 prepared by the Attack Performance team with technical support from Yamaha Europe, becoming the second rider to make a guest appearance with the Japanese manufacturer this year after British Superbike title winner Tarran Mackenzie’s one-off outing at Donington last month.
“I’m really excited for the opportunity to line up on the World Superbike grid,” said the American rider. He is currently locked in a title battle with the HSBK Ducati of former MotoGP rider Danilo Petrucci to defend his crown, trailing the Italian by 13 points with three rounds still to run. Speaking about its decision to rejoin the WSBK paddock in Portugal in the absence of an America round, team manager Richard Stanboli said: “Jake and the team are very excited to be invited to race in WorldSBK at Portimao.
