Historic Italian scooter brand Lambretta will participate in the 125cc class of the world championship, in the form of the “Lambretta Reparto Corse” team. The team will be directed by Nicola Casadei, and will have Giancarlo Cecchini as its technical director. The team is substituting the Loncin team and will have the same mechanics and technical support staff, although new riders are expected.

The Lambretta riders are currently unknown, although it’s likely there will be an Italian and two international riders. Names mentioned so far include Marco Ravaioli and Luis Salom. Lambretta is currently back in Italian hands, with owners Motom Italia Spa acquiring the company in 2007. It will be a curious alliance, that of sportsbikes with scooters, but the plan is that some of the technology developed will appear on Lambretta scooters, making them among the most innovative on the market.
