After returning to the Supersport World Championship last year, Rome-based team owner Antonio Suriano is now able to confirm his program for the 2012 season, which will see him take part in Supersport again with Triumph Daytona 675 machines. The rider chosen for the season ahead will be Vittorio Iannuzzo, who steps back onto the three-cylinder British bike again after participating in six races in the ParkinGO BE1 Racing outfit in 2010.

Iannuzzo will join up again with Paolo Rovelli, who will be involved in running the team thanks to a joint-venture with Suriano. There is still a lot of work to do before the start of the season; completing the line-up, and developing the 2012-spec bike which has a number of modifications to the previous version. The aim of the team is to run constantly in the leading positions.

"I really believe in this project," declared Suriano. "Paolo Rovelli is going to bring his professional background and Vittorio Iannuzzo is a rider I have always followed. Ever since he was 14 years of age, he's been very close to my team but only now we get to work together. I'm sure he's still got a lot of potential and his fans will be amazed by his performance. A big thanks to our main sponsor Sator Production that has renewed its support, allowing us to be a part of this new season."

Vittorio Iannuzzo: "Finally after quite a few years I get to work in a team that has been looking for me since the start and one that has big and ambitious aims. The combination of technical and organizational experience will for sure turn out to be an extra ‘weapon'. My aim is to always be in the top 5/7 of the Supersport World Championship races and I can't wait to get back on track. I'd like to thank all the sponsors but mostly my manager Ciro Troncone who has worked hard to get everything to fit into place."
