Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing has re-signed Jeremy Seewer to a multi-year deal that will see him through the 2023 season of the MXGP World Championship.

Seewer, who joined the factory Yamaha squad in 2018, has six grand prix victories and a pair of championship runner-ups to his name, along with 38 GP podiums over the course of his MX2 and MXGP career.

“It’s amazing to stay with Yamaha for another couple of years,” Seewer commented. “I never thought in this amount of time, since 2018, that I would build such an awesome relationship with a brand, and to move so quickly into the Yamaha factory team where I have been for two years, and now to extend the contract to 2023.

“It feels really good to have a brand like Yamaha behind me. I am happy about that. I feel so good in the environment, I have the right people around me. Like this, we can make it through everything, both good and bad, we can take on whatever comes our way, and this gives me extra confidence.”

Alexandre Kowalski, Yamaha Motor Europe’s off-road racing manager, stated: “We are very happy to continue with Jeremy, he has already proven that he is a great rider and a consistent threat to the MXGP podium.

“He knows the team – he knows the bike and the entire research and development department. We are all close to him and we are confident that we are on the way to even more success and this is exciting for both Yamaha and for Jeremy too.

“Now after four seasons with Jeremy, it is easy to see that he is a trusted member of the Yamaha Family. We have the same spirit and the same goals, and we believe that together we can continue working towards the MXGP world title.”

Seewer sits sixth in the MXGP World Championship standings as the series heads to The Netherlands next on 18 July.
