Van Straalen re-signs with EAB Racing for 2022 WorldSSP season

Glenn Van Straalen will compete in his second full-time WorldSSP season in 2022 after agreeing to stay with EAB Racing. 

The Dutch rider becomes the 15th rider to be announced for next season, a year that will be his fifth overall in the category. 

Van Straalen was a late introduction to the 2021 season after he replaced Randy Krummenacher. During the nine races he contested, Van Straalen secured points finishes in five of them, while also suffering four DNF’s. 

Speaking about his new deal, Van Straalen added: "I’m happy and proud that we can continue the hard work of 2021 and that I can race a full WorldSSP season. 

"It’s also a great opportunity for me to once again measure myself against the best Supersport riders in the world. 

"I can’t wait to start the season and have my fingers crossed that we can have a ‘normal’ race year, with spectators. 

"Thanks to my family, sponsors and fans for the great support in 2021, I’m looking forward to see you all soon!"

Along with his continued participation with EAB Racing, Van Straalen will remain on Yamaha machinery for the second consecutive year. 

"We are delighted to confirm that Glenn van Straalen will remain with EAB Racing Team for 2022," said Team Owner, Ferry Schoenmakers. 

"Glenn has impressed me a lot this year, as he jumped on the EAB Racing Team Yamaha YZF-R6 for the first time in Barcelona and he was riding like he raced all year long in the World Supersport Championship! 

"I'm sure that with a good winter test preparation, Glenn can make a lot of progress in 2022 and I can't wait for the start of the new season."
