Sometimes things happen faster than what we expect them to be, as in the case of Niccolò Canepa.
Just yesterday we told you that the Italian was looking for a new ride and presto chango, today we found out that he’s been picked up by Superstock Go Eleven Team for the 2011 season.
Canepa will be riding the new Kawasaki ZX10R, after the team’s switch from KTM to the Japanese marque.
“The Go Eleven project has won me over, everyone is very enthusiastic about it and they all want to do well.
I have decided to come back to Superstock, despite receiving offers to stay in Moto2 [now he had offers?] and despite the fact that the 2010 season was conditioned by the budget problems of the team I raced for.
I think this is the right environment to revitalize my career and as soon as possible arrive in World Superbike, my ‘first love’ and where I made my debut when I was Ducati test-rider.
I believe that this team has the right structure and personnel to work well on the new Kawasaki, which until now I’ve only been able to admire at the EICMA show, but I hope to be able to test it soon”.
Team manager Denis Sacchetti added: “I am delighted to be able to work with Canepa, whom I have raced against ever since we were in mini-bikes.
I know his potential and I’m sure it’s now our job to give him the right conditions to go well.
Our aim must only be to compete for the top places in the championship”.
Can you believe that Prince William waited almost a decade before putting a ring on Kate Middleton's finger? But apparently, the reason behind his patience was all about giving his lady love "the best chance" possible. Talk about being a true gentleman!
