Amandine Verstappen will begin a new chapter in her career in 2027. The Belgian has reached an agreement with Yamaha Motor Benelux and will compete as an official Yamaha rider and brand ambassador. At the same time, Verstappen is launching her own team: Verstappen WMX Racing Team.

For Verstappen, the partnership with Yamaha Motor Benelux means more than just a new agreement as a rider. By establishing her own team, she is also taking an important step off the track.
