Kawasaki Motors Europe and GIL Motorsport will not continue their working relationship in the World Supersport Championship after the end of the 2008 season.
It was an almost unbelievable year for Turkish sensation Kenan Sofuoglu in the fast and furious World Supersport Championship. The Hannspree Ten Kate Honda rider scored an amazing eight wins and only failed to reach the podium once in the 2007 season!
Round three heralds return to Europe, Valencia set to provide another thrilling weekend. Now a regular and much nticipated stop on the World Superbike trail, the Circuito Ricardo Tormo, located near the port of Valencia on Spain’s East coast, once more hosts a busy World Superbike weekend from 21-23 April. The series returns to Europe for the majority of the remainder of the 13-round season, with only the final race in South Africa bracketing the Euro-trail. At 4.005km, Valencia packs a lot of action into a stadium style amphitheatre, with its generally tight layout and frequent changes of direction leaving little time for riders to relax. Virtually all of the top riders on show on the forthcoming weekend have already tested their 2006 equipment at Valencia, some during both private winter tests and then the recent official FGSport Superbikes sessions, held in late March.
