YART Yamaha Primed for Podium Battle at Spa-Francorchamps
The Yamalube YART Yamaha Official EWC Team head to the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps confident of being able to fight for victory at Round 2 of the #fimenduranceworldchampionship, the 24H SPA EWC Motos.
The Belgian circuit hosted its first motorcycle race in 1921, and it will present a unique challenge to the YART Yamaha team as the EWC returns to the track for the first time since 2001, reviving the spirit of the iconic 24 Heures de Liège, which was once a mainstay on the calendar. #karelhanika, #niccolocanepa, #marvinfritz and Reserve Rider Robin Mulhauser are excited to get back in action at the track after a successful two-day Pre-Test earlier in May saw the team finish third fastest overall. Fritz and Mulhauser used their prior knowledge of the circuit to help get their teammates - who had not ridden at Spa before - up to speed. They left happy with the setup they found for the YART #7 R1 and Bridgestone tyres around this demanding rollercoaster of a circuit.
The Austrian squad enjoyed a superb start to their 2022 season at the opening round in Le Mans, as they powered to a stunning second-place finish, which means they are currently second overall in the standings with 55 points, eight behind the leaders. There are 65 points up for grabs in a 24-hour race in 2022, with five points awarded for pole position, 40 for the race win, and ten to the leaders at the eight and 16-hour stages. In 2022 there are three 24-hour races, and the importance of finishing the race to gain as many points as possible is not lost on the team, although after their performance in Le Mans, they are optimistic about being able to fight for the podium once more.
