Massei completes Ten Kate Junior Team line-up
Fabio Massei will defend in 2012 the colors of the Ten Kate Junior Team in the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup. The youngster from Rome is very well-known in the European Superstock paddock as he has nearly twenty races under his Superstock belt. Massei will be joined by Superstock 600 European Championship riders Michael van der Mark and Bastien Chesaux in the Dutch team.
In 2011 Massei rode successfully in the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup, finishing ninth in this hard-fought class. In previous years, Massei also achieved some good results in a variety of different championships. He won, for example, in 2010 the Italian CIV Superstock 600 title and scored a second place as a wildcard entry during the Italian round of the Superstock 600 European Championship at Imola.
Fabio Massei: "First of all, I'm very happy to be a Ten Kate Junior Team rider in 2012. I can't wait to try the bike during the first test in just a couple of weeks. This is my second year in the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup. I now know all the circuits on the calendar, which is a big advantage. Therefore I expect to be able to fight for the title. Of course it is always tough in Superstock 1000 FIM Cup but I'm sure it should be possible to score some good results with the help of my professional Ten Kate Junior Team members."
