Two time World Supersport champion Kenan Sofuoglu was called in to replace the late Shoya Tomizawa in Technomag CIP Moto2 team for the last two rounds of the 2010 season, and then signed with Bronec’s team for 2011, but his results weren’t as brilliant as many expected, as he finished 17th overall in the championship.

Now the Turk is returning to the World Supersport championship that gave him the 2007 and 2010 World titles and he’ll be racing for Lorenzini by Leoni, with the team officially backed by Kawasaki.

“I’m very happy that Kawasaki has given me this opportunity, which arrived at a particularly difficult time in my career. The experience in Moto2 was important, but for me, it is essential to fight for the title and I’m sure this will be possible thanks to Team Lorenzini. I’ll be back in the World Supersport Championship happy and convinced of my choice and that I will get the support I need for my future.”

“I’m very happy that Kenan is going to be with us, he’s one of the strongest riders in the Supersport. The season that awaits us will be extremely challenging but I am confident that with a rider of his caliber and with my staff we can honor Kawasaki,” said team manager Vanni Lorenzini.
