Manzi has been with the Ten Kate Racing Team for the last three seasons, and finally gave the legendary Dutch team Championship glory. Throughout the 2025 season on the new Yamaha R9, Manzi has been able to win ten races and feature on eight further podiums during the campaign.

It was the 26-year-old's race win finish in the second race of the weekend at the Estoril World Supersport Round that allowed Manzi to claim the title, as his title rival, Can Oncu, finished in ninth place.

After starting on the second row of the grid for the final race of the weekend, Manzi was able to get a steady start to the race and was inside the top five.

However, he made quick work of the riders around him and was immediately in the podium fight with his Championship rival, Can Oncu, on the Yamaha bLU cRU Evan Bros Team machine.

Manzi was able to make his way to the front of the field and was fighting with Valentin Debise for victory, until the French rider suffered a mechanical issue and was unable to finish the race.

The #62 was able to secure his tenth win of the season and the title in Race Two, and there are still two races remaining of the 2025 season.
