The Provec Motocard.com Kawasaki Team will be the new 2009 officially supported World Supersport Team. Riders for 2009 will be six time WSS race winner Katsuaki Fujiwara and newcomer Joan Lascorz.

The team will be strongly supported by Kawasaki and will race with the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R with showa suspension. Former WSS race winner Pere Riba will be test rider and advisor for the team.

Steve Guttridge, Kawasaki’s European Race Planning Manager, said of the new collaboration, “It’s an exciting opportunity to put our new Ninja ZX6-R back onto the podium next year. The team is set to work to a strict testing schedule with Fujiwara using the results of Pere’s production based testing in association with Showa as an important starting point for the new Provec Racing team. I’m sure that thanks to these new initiatives we will see better results for Kawasaki next season, especially with the new potential from Joan Lascorz in the fiercely competitive WSS category.”
