Team Kawasaki Webike Trickstar has officially revealed the riders it will count on for FIM Endurance World Championship success in 2024.
While the France-based outfit will continue to rely on Grégory Leblanc’s pace and experience, it has shuffled its line-up with the addition of Christian Gamarino and Román Ramos.
For Gamarino, the move to the Formula EWC-specification #11 Kawasaki is the ultimate step-up opportunity after he formed part of the Kawasaki-powered Team 33 Louit April Motos squad that won the Superstock-based FIM Endurance World Cup for Teams in 2023.
Ramos, meanwhile, gets the opportunity to further showcase his ability after he impressed on a one-off FIM Endurance World Championship ride in June’s 24H SPA EWC Motos aboard a TATI Team Beringer Racing Kawasaki.
I am honoured that I will be a pilot for Team Kawasaki Webike Trickstar for the upcoming season, said Italian Gamarino, 29. It’s always been a goal of mine to go to the EWC category with an official team and riding the number 11 Kawasaki is a dream. Grégory Leblanc and Román Ramos are fast team-mates I feel very well with. I want to thank the entire Kawasaki team for the opportunity. I can’t wait to get started.
Spaniard Ramos, 32, spoke of his ambitions to compete more regularly in the EWC during his debut weekend in the championship at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps earlier this year. The Spanish Superbike runner-up for 2023 said: I wanted to try, to see another way for my future. I love racing, I love motorcycles and I am lucky to be able to enjoy this, but I also want to do more things and one of them is [EWC]. I wish to continue on this path.
Frenchman Leblanc, 38, who joined Team Kawasaki Webike Trickstar for the Spa event in 2023, has high hopes for his new colleagues, Gamarino and Ramos. Román and Christian are two very fast riders. I can't wait to start riding this beautiful green machine with them. Thanks to all.
