GMT94 Yamaha has announced Philipp Öttl as its rider for the 2024 World Superbike Championship. In the past two years, he competed in the category with Team GoEleven on a Ducati, consistently performing as a regular contender for top-ten results.

With Andrea Iannone joining Team GoEleven and the team having only one rider, Öttl had to look for another challenge. GMT94 Yamaha was the solution, after parting ways with Lorenzo Baldassarri.

Öttl particularly caught the eye in the latter part of the season. Since the Magny-Cours round, he finished outside the top ten only once. Nevertheless, his best result is a fifth-place finish in the second race at Phillip Island.

The German rider said in a press release: ‘I am very happy to join GMT94 for the 2024 season. Christophe [Guyot] and his team have been working at a very high level for decades and I am honored to be able to join the team. During the last events of the 2023 season I took a step forward and I would like to continue it next year too. Of course, it’s a difficult goal, but I will prepare well during the winter holidays to be ready for the first tests. I can’t wait to meet the team and start working’.
