Yoshimura SERT Motul has announced Gregg Black, Dan Linfoot and Étienne Masson will go for back-to-back FIM Endurance World Championship titles supported once again by reserve rider Cocoro Atsumi.
UK-born Frenchman Black, Briton Linfoot and Masson, from France, helped the Suzuki-powered outfit secure its second EWC crown – the first since 2021 – in 2024 to go with the 11 EWC titles won when the Le Mans-based squad ran under the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team banner.
Atsumi also performed a key role in Yoshimura SERT Motul’s title triumph when he secured third place for the team in the 45th Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race with an inspired final stint.
A statement from Yoshimura SERT Motul read: “Yoshimura SERT Motul is excited to announce its 2025 FIM EWC rider line-up. Leading the team this season are Gregg Black, Étienne Masson and Dan Linfoot. Additionally, Cocoro Atsumi will continue to support the team as a reserve and development rider.
“With this experienced and high-performing team, we’re ready to give it our all and strive for even greater success this season.”
Black said he was “happy to start a new season” with his Yoshimura SERT Motul team-mates, Linfoot, who joined Yoshimura SERT Motul for the 2024 season, said he “can’t wait to get started”, while Masson thanked Team Director Yohei Kato “to trust in me”.
