Moto2 star Jorge ‘The Guns’ Navarro will switch to WorldSSP in 2023 after signing with Ten Kate Yamaha.

Navarro will replace current and champion-elect Domi Aegerter who is moving to WorldSBK with GRT Yamaha next year.

“Ten Kate Racing is immensely proud to announce Jorge Navarro as its first signed rider for the 2023 season. He has an excellent track record which fits tremendously with Ten Kate Racing’s ambitions and wishes,” said team manager Kervin Bos.

“We are still very much in the 2022 title race, but this already lays the foundation for 2023. We look forward to completing the first tests with Jorge after the end of the current season. 2023, bring it on.”
