Provec Racing officially unvieled the team’s 2013 Kawasaki Ninja’s and World Superbike riders Tom Sykes and Loris Baz (who turns 20 today) in a live, but very jumpy streaming presentation on their Facebook page from the FAD (Fostering Arts and Design) Institute in Barcelona late yesterday afternoon.
The 2013 spec ZX-10R – that has almost the same brilliant green livery as last year, with a touch more of black – was revealed by the two riders along with Kawasaki Motors Europe director Shigemi Tanaka, who said, “I am honoured to be here to represent Kawasaki Motors Europe and KHI Japan, which are responsible for the World Superbike racing project.
Five years ago Kawasaki joined forces with a new and young team called Provec, who managed our World Supersport effort in Europe.
They provided an excellent overall effort for Kawasaki.
Just last year the Provec team were rewarded by being promoted to assist our factory engineers in Japan, to develop our official World Superbike racing effort.
Technically, the team are at a very high level and all the staff work hand-in-hand with our technical partners around the world to provide a race-winning package – the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
“Kawasaki regards our investment in both the Provec team and the World Superbike Championship as money very well spent.
So we are very happy to be here again, in beautiful Barcelona, to launch the official Kawasaki Racing Team and to look at our amazing 2013 Ninja ZX-10R race bike, delivered by Provec.
