The Pata Yamaha squad has re-signed both Michael van der Mark and Alex Lowes for the 2019 World Superbike championship, confirming an unchanged line-up for next year.

The McAMS Yamaha squad and riders Josh Brookes and Tarran Mackenzie will lead the 20 th anniversary celebrations of the YZF-R1 at this weekend’s Bennetts British Superbike round at Brands Hatch.

Monster Energy will replace Movistar as title sponsor at the factory Yamaha MotoGP team of Valentino Rossi and Maverick Vinales, from 2019.

Valentino Rossi says set-up switches to improve the balance and corner speed of his Movistar Yamaha paved the way for his MotoGP podium charge at Sachsenring, but has warned the same issues still remain.

Maverick Vinales says tweaks to his riding style on the Movistar Yamaha are acting as a balance to its current acceleration weakness as he secured back-to-back podiums for the first time in over a year.

After scoring 58 points during the opening four races of the 2018 MotoGP season, Johann Zarco has collected just 23 in the four that followed.

As the majority of the MotoGP field was expressing concerns regarding the closing laps of Sunday’s German Grand Prix, Maverick Viñales believes he will come into his own when the grip decreases, a time when he can “play [his] cards.”

Andrea Iannone returned to the top of the MotoGP timesheets during Saturday morning's FP3 session at Sachsenring.

A fifth place in the intense Assen battle means that Valentino Rossi and Yamaha have now gone over one calendar year without a MotoGP victory. They have also matched the 18-race win drought of 2002-2003, before Rossi joined the team in 2004.

Maverick Vinales feels he is back 'at the level of the other riders', after making progress with his early race woes at Assen.

Michael van der Mark felt he couldn’t find a big enough advantage to fight back against Jonathan Rea in the hunt for victory in race two at Misano but was still content with second to strengthen his third place in the championship.

Johann Zarco says he’s eager “to understands what it needs to repeat it” having been stunned by former team-mate Jonas Folger’s spectacular podium at the Sachsenring 12 months ago for Monster Yamaha Tech3.
