Evan Bros. Racing Team

r first love, or rather motocross, collecting a 4th place in the 1990 European 125 Championship and going on to compete in the World 125 Championship up until 1994. The brothers’ passion for two wheels (and especially for asphalt) was rekindled during a Honda Day at Imola: this prompted Fabio to participate in the Honda CBR 600 Trophy for several years, followed by the Mototemporada, the Premier Cup and one round of the Italian Supersport Championship. During these years he also cultivated a wonderful friendship with Mauro Pellegrini, first a rider and then his trusty crew chief and partner. Here began the story of the current team Evan Bros, that took the decision to invest in young talents in late 2012.

2013
The first challenge for team Evan Bros. came in the shape of the Italian CIV Supersport series, with young rider Marco Faccani. The season proved immediately exciting bringing three wins, two seconds and one third place, the Italian coming very close to the title but just missing out at the last round. The icing on the cake was the chance to participate as a wildcard in two World Supersport rounds, namely Imola and Jerez, the rider scoring his first well-deserved point in Spain when he crossed the line in fifteenth place.

2014
In 2014 it was time for a new challenge. With the departure of Faccani, the team bets on another talented man from Ravenna: Federico Caricasulo. The new pairing competed in both the European Stock600 championship and the CIV Supersport, obtaining some incredible results. Federico became Italian champion, with a victory and a total of podiums scored over ten races, while in the European championship he finished fifth, two second-place race finishes his best results.

2015
The adventures of team Evan Bros. in Stock600 continued in 2015 with Caricasulo and Spanish rider Augusto Fernandez (now in Moto2), both of whom quickly became protagonists in the category. “Carica” scored one win and a total of four podiums to close third in the championship, while Fernandez took a win and a second-place finish, ending the season fourth, just few points behind his team-mate.

2016
The year of the big jump. competed in the Supersport World Championship, continuing its fruitful relationship with Caricasulo and intensifying the relationship with Bardahl, which decided to become the main sponsor of the team due to team’s excellent results. The year got off to a dream start, with Federico reaching the second step of the podium in the inaugural race of Phillip Island. He did it again in Misano, but an unfair penalty from Race Direction denied team and rider the prestigious result. The season came to a positive end anyway, the squad finishing in ninth place in the standings.

2017
Having definitively launched Caricasulo, in 2017 the team reflected on its future and decided to remain in Supersport welcoming Italian rider Christian Gamarino, a Genoa native in his third year in the category. The season gave both team and rider a lot of experience, the team finishing the year in eleventh place, having enjoyed the satisfaction of scoring the fastest lap in the Buriram race, and scoring a best race result of sixth, at Portimao.

2018
2018 began with an important change. The team bade farewell to Honda and made an agreement with Yamaha Switzerland, which came with the added advantage of Swiss rider Randy Krummenacher, ready to embark on a new adventure after his experiences in 125, Moto2, Superbike and Supersport. The year got off to an amazing start when Randy crossed the line second in the inaugural race at Phillip Island before winning at Buriram. Race four, at Assen, brought an extraordinary result that saw Randy, forced to start from last position due to a problem on the grid, fight back furiously to cross the line in second place, just a few milliseconds behind the winner. As the season went on, the team and rider remained a reference in the category, closing the championship in fourth position overall.

2019
New year, new milestone. For the first time in its history the Evan Bros. team presents itself at the starting line of the World Supersport Championship with two riders: the confirmed Randy Krummenacher is in fact joined by Federico Caricasulo, who is back in the team that launched him on the world stage forming a very high level couple. The season is simply perfect: Krummenacher wins four races, Caricasulo three, for a total of eight double podiums of which five doubles. The team is able to place both its riders on the podium in the first seven races of the season, establishing a record that will remain in the motorcycle history books. In Portimao (with three races to go) the team wins the team title, while in the last round in Qatar Krummenacher wins the riders' title, just six points ahead of his teammate in the overall standings. An unprecedented cavalcade, which writes an indelible and magical page in the history of the team.

2020
The season of records. After having touched the sky with a finger for the first time, the team decides to embrace a more familiar dimension, without affecting the professionalism and seriousness that distinguish them. From two riders back to just one, welcoming the Italian talent Andrea Locatelli to the team, eager to relaunch himself after his experiences in Moto3 and Moto2. The combination proved to be perfect already in the first tests, and from the first race of the season it annihilated the opponents. Locatelli triumphed in the first nine races of the season, becoming the rider with the most successes in a single season, as well as the most successful Italian rider in the history of the category. In the Barcelona round, the third last leg of the season, Locatelli and the Evan Bros. team crowned their dream by winning the World Title, the second consecutive one for the team from Ravenna. At the end of the year the victories of the Evan Bros. - Locatelli duo will be 12 out of 15 races disputed, with 7 pole positions out of 8 attempts: a real domination that goes down in history.
