Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (YMUS) is pleased to announce that the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing team poses a formidable title threat in the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, featuring three-time champion Jake Gagne and newcomer Bobby Fong. The program, which has already won the championship multiple times, is looking to add a fifth title aboard the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1s as it enters its sixth season as YMUS's official Superbike team.
Jake Gagne returns in 2025 in top form and is looking to bounce back after a difficult 2024 season (7th) due to arm problems. Entering his sixth season with the team, he has enjoyed considerable success riding the YZF-R1 during his tenure, including three consecutive titles from 2021 to 2023, an impressive total of 41 race wins, and multiple track records. Gagne currently sits fourth on the all-time AMA Superbike wins list and is determined to add to his tally in 2025 as he strives to reclaim the crown.
Bobby Fong , who will ride a private Yamaha in 2024, joins the factory team in place of Cameron Petersen for 2025, and he is eager to start the season with Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing. In addition to the 2019 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship, the talented rider from Stockton, California, has several support class wins, as well as five Superbike victories. Last year, he was a contender in the closely contested title fight and moved into the championship lead after his double win at Brainerd International Raceway, ultimately finishing the season third overall with two wins and a total of eight podium finishes aboard the Aussie Dave Racing/Wrench Motorcycles YZF-R1.
Attack Performance, a leading manufacturer of high-performance components and services for modern sportbikes, has continued the winning tradition of the Yamaha R1 since the partnership with YMUS began in 2020. As an official Superbike team, the program has enjoyed resounding success with four titles and 63 premier class wins. Progressive Insurance also returns in 2025 to support the championship-winning program. The team would like to thank its partners for their continued support: Progressive, Yamaha Financial Services, Yamalube, Akrapovic, Braking, TrackDaz, Podium Club at Atessa, Suter, OZ, DID, NGK-NTK, Zero Gravity and Full Spectrum.

“Yamaha Racing is excited to return to the Superbike Championship fight with our racing partner Attack Performance. After a difficult 2024 season due to arm issues, Jake Gagne will return to challenge for his fourth MotoAmerica Superbike Championship as part of the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha team. He will be joined by Bobby Fong, who had a very impressive 2024 Superbike season, finishing third in the points on his ADR/Wrench Motorcycles YZF-R1. Not ones to rest on their laurels, team owner Richard Stanboli and his team have focused on performance gains to ensure Jake and Bobby have the best possible chance of success in this highly technical and competitive premier class.”
Richard Stanboli – Team Principal Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing
“We watched Bobby last year on the Yamaha Superbike and he was determined to go to the front at every race and never give up. We’ve known him for a long time and I’ve worked with him personally in the past. Bobby is a very positive rider with a lot of potential and I think he’ll fit in well under our awning. We’re happy to have Jake back, fit and ready to race. We’ve been working on some upgrades and will be doing some rigorous testing to make sure the riders and machines are competitive. We’re also working closely with the WorldSBK team to make sure we leave nothing on the table. We’re looking forward to our first event at Barber Motorsports Park.”

“It’s a dream come true to join the Attack Yamaha team. I’ve been waiting my whole life for an opportunity like this, to have a factory rider in Superbike, so I’m really looking forward to starting the season and doing a great job for Yamaha. We’re working hard, on and off the bike, and I can’t wait to start next year with these R1s.”
