Bo Bendsneyder: ‘I’m very happy that I will ride next year for EAB Racing Team in the WorldSSP and I’m very motivated after my recent successes in Moto2, with points finishes in the last three races of 2020. I can’t wait to test the EAB Racing Team Yamaha YZF-R6 for the first time. The R6 is not a completely new bike for me, so that’s a big benefit after all my years in the MotoGP paddock. Many thanks to Ferry Schoenmakers and my sponsors who gave me this great opportunity and I will do everything I can to make it a success!’

We have a number of tests planned in the run-up to the start of 2021 to be ready for the first race.’
