Gerardo and Martinez Join Nassaney and Collins for the 2026 MotoAmerica Supersport Season.
Torin Collins returns for his 3rd season with Altus, piloting the Yamaha R9 in the MotoAmerica Supersport class. Collins finished 9th overall in Supersport last season and made significant improvements with his pace. He is more determined then ever to be a consistent top rider.
Jaret Nassaney will be returning for his 12th season competing in MotoAmerica. Nassaney improved all of last season and battled in the top 10 the last few rounds aboard the Altus Yamaha R9.
Max Gerardo has joined the Altus team racing in Supersport. Gerardo filled in last season at Laguna and rode with impressive top 10 finishes in both races. Gerardo brings international experience along with the skill set to put him fighting at the top.
Austin Martinez is the newest member joining the Altus Team. This will be Austin’s first season competing in MotoAmerica Supersport and is excited to show his talent. Surrounding himself with experienced riders and the Altus Team will give Martinez a competitive advantage.
“We have put together an incredible lineup for 2026,” said Janette Nassaney, Altus Motorsports Co-Owner. “A mixture of returning talent and new riders, this team is poised for an incredible season. The Team Manager and Technical Director Boyd Brunner has brought on seasoned staff to make sure our riders will have success. Thibault Few and Michael Murphy will provide our riders technical data that is crucial every weekend. Our riders and crew share a commitment to excellence and embody the family-team atmosphere that Altus is known for. With everyone working together, we’re confident this season will bring consistent podium finishes and incredible moments on and off the track.”
“I am very excited to get the season started. Last season we had a lot of learning on the Yamaha R9, but made great improvements at the end of the season. We are proud to announce several new sponsors Parts Unlimited and MOTUL along with returning sponsors Buy A Jet From Steve Main and Barnett Clutches. Without these sponsors along with the rest of our family of sponsors this would not be possible.” Said Co-Owner George Nassaney
