All at Yamaha Motor Europe and Yamaha Racing extend their sincere condolences to the family, friends, and teammates of Mirko Giansanti, who sadly passed away after a long battle with a serious illness.
Mirko faced this final challenge with courage and dignity, the same attributes with which he moulded his career, first as a rider and later as the founder and Sporting Director of the Giansanti Racing Team.
Mirko’s humanity, strength of spirit and determination have been a source of inspiration for everyone at the GRT Yamaha Team and for all the Yamaha racing staff who had the privilege to make his acquaintance
Andrea Dosoli: Road #racing Manager, Yamaha Motor Europe
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mirko after a long illness. He was a man who said little, preferring instead to lead by example and with this approach he and the GRT Yamaha Team achieved a lot. Mirko was an integral part of our Yamaha Racing family and the WorldSBK paddock will be a lesser place with his passing. Rest in peace, Mirko.”
