Jake Gagne will sit out the final two rounds of the MotoAmerica Superbike season to focus on his health. Despite a race win this season, Gagne has been struggling with arm and hand issues all season. With his team’s support, he has decided to focus on returning to full fitness for the 2025 season. To finish the season, Xavi Fores will step in for Gagne at Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing.
“It wasn’t an easy decision, but we needed to look at the bigger picture and get back to 100%. Despite my best efforts to fix it in between races, I’ve continued to deal with issues with my arm and hand. We’ll go get this sorted and come back stronger next season.” – Jake Gagne.
Fores debuted with the team earlier this year when he filled in for Cameron Petersen aboard the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing R6 at the Daytona 200.
“I’m extremely happy to join the team again, this time on the Superbike. I think it’s the team that’s the benchmark. I have watched them throughout my career and hoped to race with them. It’s always a shame to fill in for a rider like Jake because he is injured. So first and foremost, I want him to get well as soon as possible.” – Xavi Fores.
Xavi Fores will make his Superbike debut with the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing team, filling in for Jake Gagne at the COTA round in Texas, September 13 through 15.
