Yoshimura SERT Motul will continue to progress as we take on new challenges for the 2025 season.
Supported by the experience and traditions we have built over the years, we aim for the pinnacle of the FIM Endurance World Championship, fueled by the passion of the entire team.
The 2024 season was an incredible one, where we overcame numerous challenges as a united team.
We claimed victories in two 24-hour endurance races, achieved podium finishes in every race, and ultimately won the championship title.
Team riders, engineers, and staff will continue to be integral parts of the team for the 2025 season.
We will stay together and maintain a spirit of challenge as we strive for results that surpass the previous season.
Our goal is not just about winning.
With the "spirit of continuous challenge," which is at the core of Yoshimura's DNA, we promise to deliver inspiration and excitement to fans all around the world.
We’d truly appreciate your continued passionate support in the 2025 season! -

As far as the season is concerned, we're all working hard to prepare for the first tests in March.
Then, at the beginning of April, we'll be testing at Le Mans with the 24h Motos in April.
Over the winter we've been working on the organisation, setting up the box and loading the trucks.
We really wanted to make progress in this area.
We've also been working on the pit-stops, and the idea is to be even better at organising them.
We're looking forward to seeing you all again and getting the season underway. -

I’m very happy to confirm my place in the team and be going into my 2nd season as YSM rider in EWC.
Of course after winning the championship last year it feels only natural to continue pushing with the crew and team mates for 2025.
The winter has been long, and I am excited to get back with the team for the first tests and start our preparation.
Thank you to all SERT & Yoshimura for their efforts and support.Name Dan Linfoot Birthplace Tadcaster, UK Birthday 1988.07.04 Height 178cm Weight 72kg Hobby Cycling, Running & Motorcycles SNS Race History

I am deeply honored to continue as a rider for Yoshimura SERT Motul in the 2025 season.
Last season was incredible, with podium finishes in every race and winning the championship, thanks to the support and cooperation of all of you.
Watching my teammates’ performances throughout the season, I felt the need to become faster and stronger as a rider.
After achieving a podium finish at the Suzuka 8 Hours, my determination to win has only grown stronger, and I am more motivated than ever to train and prepare during this off-season.
As part of the champion team this season, I aim to contribute as a development and reserve rider, working towards defending the title by winning every race.
I will do my best in full cooperation with my strong teammates and this professional team. Thank you for your support!Name Cocoro Atsumi Birthplace Cocoro Atsumi Birthday 1995.10.23 Height 172cm Weight 64kg Hobby Cycling, Strength training, & Trip SNS Race History
