Moto2: Jake Dixon renews as the GASGAS Aspar Team announces 2024 line-up

Jake Dixon resigns to stay in Moto2 in 2024 as GASGAS Aspar announces their line-up.

The GASGAS Aspar Team has announced their 2024 line-up with Jake Dixon and Izan Guevara riding for the team. The line-up is unchanged from 2023, as the team continues with their British and Spanish rider combination.

Jake Dixon will enter his third season with the GASGAS Aspar Team and his fifth season in the Moto2 World Championship. Dixon is currently battling for the 2023 Moto2 World Championship, currently in third position. This confirmation puts an end to the rumours that Dixon would switch to the MotoGP class.

The 27-year-old has taken four podiums so far in the 2023 season, currently 47 points from Tony Arbolino in second. His best result of the season came at Assen, winning the Dutch Grand Prix and the first-ever Grand Prix of his career.

Izan Guevara will enter his second season in the Moto2 class, after winning the 2022 Moto3 World Championship. Guevara had a tough start to his Moto2 career – recovering from a wrist injury and learning the Moto2 machine. The Spaniard scored his first points in Austria, after a 13th-place finish.

Jake Dixon said: “We’ve had almost two incredible seasons together so far so I’m really excited to stay with GASGAS Aspar Team for another year. We both have goals, for the remainder of 2023 but then also full-on for 2024.

“We’ve regularly been in the running for podiums and wins and we’re third in the Championship at the moment, so I feel like I am in a strong place and the right place.”

Izan Guevara said: “I’m really grateful for the trust the GASGAS Aspar Team have placed in me for the last few years. Together we have achieved pretty much everything we were aiming for: Moto3 World Championship racing in 2020, the title in 2022 and, now, fighting for what we can in Moto2 and with another goal for 2024.

“My adaptation to the class is going positively and we took our first points in Austria. Step-by-step we are building a base so we will again arrive at the highest level together.”

Jorge Martinez added: “Again, we have a great team for 2024. We’re happy that we can count on Jake Dixon once more for the GASGAS Aspar Team next season and we’re conscious that we still haven’t reached the limits of our potential together. We’ve taken Jake’s first win, and the working relationship is really good; we know what he needs and how we can help him.

“The rider has 100% trust in his team and his group, and I know we’ll fight for the world championship next year. With Jake and with Izan, who is progressing nicely in Moto2 and had his first points in Austria, we’ll chase everything we can in 2024.

“We are starting to see sparks in Izan that we know well, and we saw to such powerful effect in FIM JuniorGP and in Moto3, and we’ll see his possibilities very soon.”
