GS Yuasa celebrates 10 years with HRC Repsol Honda Team in MotoGP
Battery manufacturer GS Yuasa is proud to announce that it is celebrating its tenth anniversary as a sponsor of the HRC Repsol Honda Team in MotoGP, during which time it has won six constructors and riders titles.
This season, the eleventh of the sponsorship, features the riders Marc Márquez, the eight-time motorbike world champion and, as a new member, Joan Mir, who has won two motorbike world titles.
In 2019 Márquez made history, winning his sixth MotoGP championship. This year’s riders say they have a common goal: to take the Repsol Honda Team back to the top again.
GS Yuasa will continue its sponsorship with the team for the 2023 season. Over 90% of motorbike manufacturers fit a Yuasa battery because of its quality, reliability and performance.
Yuasa’s motorcycle range features a wide range of batteries, including the YTX, YTZ and GYZ batteries, all of which are registered trademarks of GS Yuasa International. All Yuasa motorcycle batteries offer maximum starting power, superior performance and up to four times the service life of competing brands. They also provide exceptional resistance to vibration and impact.
Theo den Hoed, product and supply chain manager for motorcycle batteries at GS Yuasa Battery Europe, said: “We are proud to continue our sponsorship with the HRC Repsol Honda Team, especially as we celebrate our tenth anniversary with them. It is a sponsorship we are enormously proud of and we look forward to seeing what Márquez and the team deliver on the track this season.”
James Hylton, managing director of GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK, said: “Our long time sponsorship with Honda and its MotoGP team has helped us to elevate the Yuasa brand, while consolidating our status as a world leader in the design and manufacture of motorbike batteries. We deliver products that offer quality, reliability and performance, and the focus and success of the team helps reinforce this.”
The World Championship kicks off on 26 March 2023 in Portimão (Portugal).
