Following the encouraging results achieved this season in Supersport with Fabien Foret, the Lorenzini by Leoni Kawasaki team is now also set to become one of the key structures for the Japanese manufacturer next year in the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup. And the Italian team has already put in place a major coup for next season with the signing of South African rider Sheridan Morais.
With the raising of the Superstock 1000 age limit to 26 for next year, 25 year-old Morais will be one of two riders for Vanni Lorenzini's team, and will debut the new ZX-10R, which was unveiled to the press at the last round in Germany. For the South African rider, who this year took part in the Superbike rounds at Kyalami and Portimao with an Aprilia and a Honda and in 2009 on a Kawasaki (photo), the prospects of doing a ‘Badovini' are looking good, as he takes two steps down in an attempt to win the FIM Cup.
Lorenzini himself was also optimistic regarding the future. "We've had an eye on this talented youngster for some time now and we are delighted to have him under contract in 2011," declared Lorenzini. "With the new ZX-10R and the South African rider we can for sure play a major role in the championship and aim for the title. I'd like to thank all those who have confirmed their support in us, our desire to continue and progress remains the same and with this new project we are sure we can live up to everybody's expectations."
