The 19 year old rider hoping to impress on the international stage

Rebecca Bianchi (Bike Service Racing Kawasaki) is the first full time female rider to ever take part in the FIM Europe Superstock 600 Championship. The 19 year old from Bologna, Italy, is currently contesting her rookie season, with the aim of testing her riding skills at international level as well as mixing it inside the top 10 as the season progresses.

"It's a really interesting challenge for me as I'm the only girl in the STK600 field" said Rebecca Bianchi. It's my first year in the series, so apart from Imola and Misano all the tracks are new to me. I'm working hard with the team to improve each and every time on track and I hope to get a good result here at Imola, even though I know it won't be easy. I'm still not 100% as two months ago I fractured my collarbone. We did well at Aragon but our target is to further improve , hoping to be in the top-10 by the end of the season."
