Camel ends its involvement with World Road Racing Championship

Four intense years of sportsmanship in which the yellow livery of Camel was an unmistakable presence on the track and a symbol of success: 11 victories and 23 podiums.

Camel is leaving international motorsport and its sponsorship of the MotoGP, which started in 2003 and ended with the very special year with Yamaha that has just come to a close.

Working with a great Japanese motorcycle manufacturer like Yamaha and with the World Championship organizer Dorna has been a privilege for the Camel team.

We would like to thank all those with whom we have shared this passion and these successes. Our most sincere thanks go to Yamaha for its professionalism in the partnership, to all the riders who have flown our colors on circuits around the world, and to all our fans.
