History
editThe team's origins trace back to a family-run auto parts business founded by Umberto Evangelista in 1959, later established as a formal racing operation by his sons Fabio and Paolo with Technical Director Mauro Pellegrini.[1] The team emerged in its modern form in the early 2010s, when it began investing in young riders and competing in national and international championships.
After debuting in the Italian CIV Supersport championship in 2013, the team quickly established itself as a competitive outfit, achieving multiple wins and podium finishes. It progressed through categories such as the European Stock 600 Championship, where it secured notable results including a national title with Federico Caricasulo.[1]In 2016, the team entered the Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP), marking a significant step in its development. Following a transitional period, a key milestone came in 2018 with a switch to Yamaha machinery, which laid the foundation for sustained success. The team became a front-running contender, culminating in championship-winning performances, including a dominant 2020 season with Andrea Locatelli, who secured the riders' title with a record number of victories.[1][2]
Throughout the early 2020s, Evan Bros. maintained its competitive presence, regularly achieving podium finishes and runner-up championship results with riders such as Steven Odendaal and Lorenzo Baldassarri. The team also expanded its activities, notably competing in multiple championships simultaneously and securing additional titles, including success in the women's WorldWCR series.[1]With 2025 season completed, the team ended partnership with Yamaha.[3]
By the mid-2020s, the team had adapted to technical changes, including a transition to new Yamaha machinery, while continuing to develop emerging talent. Consistent race wins, podium finishes, and team championships have established Evan Bros. as one of the leading independent teams in the Supersport category. [1]
In 2026, the team entered into a technical partnership with Chinese manufacturer Zxmoto for the Supersport World Championship, competing under the banner ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing.[4]
