The 29-year-old will ride a Yamaha R1 prepared by the Attack Performance team with technical support from Yamaha Europe, becoming the second rider to make a guest appearance with the Japanese manufacturer this year after British Superbike title winner Tarran Mackenzie’s one-off outing at Donington Park last month.
Gagne last raced in WSBK between 2018-19 on the uncompetitive Ten Kate Honda package, securing a best finish of ninth at Laguna Seca in his second season, before repeating that result in the same year’s championship finale at Losail.
