Confirmed: Isak Gifting renews JK Yamaha contract


JK Racing Yamaha have confirmed they have struck a deal with Isak Gifting that will see him stay with the team for the 2025 MXGP World Championship season. 

This year was Gifting’s rookie season in the very competitive MXGP World Championship and he showed good speed and potential for the future. 

Both parties are happy to stay together for the 2025 season which will mean Gifting will have a full off season with the team heading into the upcoming season. After signing a late deal coming into 2024 he didn’t have the benefit of a full off season so that should benefit him.
