After French rider Valentin Debise crossed the finish line to secure back-to-back victories for ZXMoto Factory Evan Bros Racing on Saturday (March 28) and Sunday (March 29), Chinese motorcycle entrepreneur Zhang Xue could barely contain his emotion.
It was only the second round of the 2026 FIM Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP) season, yet the newly established Chinese manufacturer ZXMoto had already claimed its first-ever race wins - twice in a single weekend."I was in tears at that moment, because it was really beyond our expectations," Zhang told the Global Times on Monday. "Our goal this year was simply to reach the podium, and perhaps win a race next year. We never imagined we could win races so quickly."
ZXMoto partnered with Italy's storied Evan Bros Racing team to enter the WorldSSP, the support class to the Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK), at the end of 2025.
At 38, the self-taught engineer from a rural county in Central China's Hunan Province watched his ZXMoto machines outpace global giants such as Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda.
