Stefano Manzi of Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing has been crowned the 2025 FIM Supersport World Champion, securing the title with two races remaining. Riding the new Yamaha R9, Manzi dominated the season with 10 wins and 18 podiums.
After finishing second in 2023 and 2024, this championship marks a major milestone in his career. Manzi credited overcoming crashes at Most and Misano as key moments that strengthened his focus and determination.
Team manager Kervin Bos highlighted Manzi’s growth in performance, consistency, and mental strength, noting he is now ready to step up to WorldSBK.
Manzi began his career in Italian Championships and JuniorGP, then moved through Moto3 and Moto2, before joining WorldSSP in 2022. After his first win at Portimao, he became a title contender and ultimately clinched the 2025 WorldSSP Championship.
Next season, Manzi will race in WorldSBK with the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team, stepping into the top tier of motorcycle racing.
