Collection: Yamaha PATA
The PATA Yamaha WorldSBK Team continues its proud legacy at the pinnacle of production motorcycle racing, carrying the iconic blue colours of Yamaha into the 2026 season. Yamaha has been a cornerstone of WorldSBK competition for decades, earning hundreds of race victories and cementing its reputation as one of the sport’s most successful manufacturers.
Pata Yamaha duo speaks youthful: Xavi Vierge joins Andrea Locatelli to create the duo for Yamaha Racing’s official team. The retirement of the legendary Jonathan Rea opened the doors for Spaniard Xavi Vierge into Yamaha; in fact, the 6 times WorldSBK Champion approved and recommended Vierge’s move to the blue team. On the other side, Locatelli has demonstrated being the most competitive rider over a Yamaha YZF-R1 during the last seasons: it’s no surprise that the factory from Iwata keep the service of the 2020 World Superport Champion. Locatelli’s smooth style and Vierge’s competitive edge make them a formidable duo aboard the Yamaha YZF-R1, a machine known for its balance and race-proven performance on circuits around the world.
The objective will be bringing the Yamaha YZF-R1 to the top of the standings, a feature achieved two times: in 2009 with the American Ben Spies and in 2021 with to Toprak Razgatlıoğlu. Two riders’ titles may seem a scarce reward compared to the full commitment Yamaha has shown in WorldSBK, but Yamaha’s WorldSBK story is rich — from first wins by Fabrizio Pirovano to the performance of the legendary Noriyuki Haga, the brand has consistently battled at the front. Today’s PATA Yamaha carries that spirit forward with a modern twist on its classic blue-white livery, blending heritage with contemporary racing DNA.
At the Official WorldSBK Store, you’ll find the latest PATA Yamaha team gear — replica racing jackets, caps, performance tees, and accessories inspired by the riders’ own race-day kit. Made with premium materials and bold Yamaha branding, this collection lets fans wear their passion in style. Ride with Yamaha. Race with pride.
