A couple of months ago, we shared the news that a relatively new motorcycle manufacturer, ZXMOTO, was surprising folks around the world with its impressive performance in the World Supersport (WSSP) championship. Amazingly, the bike wasn't just a flash in the pan, as it proved with rookie Valentin Debise racking up a total of five wins so far this season.
Let me pause for a second to acknowledge the weight of that statement. A rookie rider, on a machine from an OEM that's only existed since 2024, coming into the World Supersport championship and just ... winning five races? In a year when they really just meant to be testing before launching a true championship bid in 2027?
