MRS opts for all-French pairing for 2013 STK1000

The MRS team, which stands for Morillas Racing School, has announced ambitious plans for the 2013 season of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup. In partnership con Kawasaki, the French squad run by Adrien Morillas (one of WSBK's pioneers and winner of a round at the Hungaroring in 1988 with a Kawasaki), will enter two Ninja ZX-10R macbhines in the Cup for the reconfirmed Jeremy Guarnoni (photo) and Romain Lanusse, who were also recent team-mates in MRS Racing in Superstock 600.

For Jeremy Guarnoni the 2013 season will be the fifth in a row with MRS. European Superstock 600 Champion in 2010 with 8 successive podiums in ten races (including five wins), this year in his second year in STK1000 "Jey" fully lived up to his worth by taking MRS Racing to the win in the final round at Magny-Cours. This went hand in hand with a third overall in the championship, after he started the season with Kawasaki Pedercini.

Romain Lanusse on the other hand returns to Superstock 1000 in 2013 with MRS after a year in World Supersport with Kawasaki Intermoto Step. The Frenchman from Marignane, fourth in European Superstock 600 in 2011, will be making his debut in the under-26 Superstock 1000 FIM Cup.
