Coming off the July break, Van Horebeek currently sits sixth in the championship ahead of races in the Czech Republic and his home track in Lommel, Belgium.
"I feel really good in this team, and in the three years since I came here I have been 2nd, 5th and now again fighting for a top five in the championship, and that's all because I'm comfortable here and I'm comfortable on the bike, and this is what is really important. All of that makes it an easy choice to stay with people I consider to be part of one big family," Van Horebeek explained.
"I want to thank the staff of managers and mechanics from Yamaha and also Eric De Seynes at Yamaha for their trust in me. They all work very hard to keep us at this level, and at the end of the day I am really happy that we can do another year together," he concluded.
Eric De Seynes - Chief Operating Officer, Yamaha Motor Europe - added, "We are delighted to announce the confirmation of our racing partnership with Jeremy Van Horebeek for next year. The Belgian is a talented rider and is always a dynamic presence who represents what is most important to us when we race."
"With Jeremy seated again next season atop his YZ450FM, and alongside Romain Febvre, we are confident that we have secured the best pair of riders on the MXGP grid together with a team that combines all the elements for success in the motocross paddock."
