Kazuki Watanabe in World Supersport with Go Eleven. It is a Ninja who comes from Akashi, but it is not a motorcycle! Winner of the MFJ All Japan Road Race J-GP2 hampionship of 2012, second place at the 8 hours of Suzuka in 2016, Kazuki Watanabe, born in Yamanashi (Japan) on 10/02/1990, in 2017 will ride with the Kawasaki Ninja zx6r prepared by the team Go Eleven to get involved in the Supersport World Championship.
Will have to learn all the circuits, he does not know his opponents, but it is among the strongest Japanese in the world and from a Ninja that drives a Ninja you can only expect great results. Watanabe and Rea will be on track in January, for the first tests.
Kazuki Watanabe: “I am very excited to be a part of Go Eleven Kawasaki for the World SuperSports Championship. This will be the very first year for me to be participating at the World Championships for the entire season. I am thrilled for this new challenge, and I will do my absolute best to achieve the best results, not only for myself but also for the Go Eleven team. Big thanks to Gianni Ramello, Luciana Fornaseri and Denis Sacchetti for giving me this exciting opportunity. I believe I will be able to discover my full potential as a rider throughout the year, and I will ride to win with my “Samurai” spirit! And thank you to everyone who have supported me over the years. Without your support I would not be where I am today. Your incredible support has made me a stronger rider and I will forever be grateful. Finally, thank you very much to Kawasaki for pushing me forward!!!”
Giovanni Ramello (team owner): “I am very proud and pleased with this choice. Watanabe is a very experienced pilot and popularity, and is the icing on the cake for our team, who from many years used Japanese motorcycles.I think that his entry into the Go Eleven family has given a touch of class to the team and we will try to work hard to do a championship in 2017 as protagonists. I do not hide my curiosity and impatience to see at the work this Japanese rider and I am sure, that after a short time, he will be found in great harmony with all of us.I will not fail never to thank my great Denis Sacchetti that with hard work and patience has managed to create a team certainly original and I think very competitive.”
Denis Sacchetti (Team Manager): “I am excited and anxious to know the method of work of Kazuki, in Japan have a high consideration to him and has also performed well in comparison with top European riders, so, I think we will have fun.”
