MV Agusta Dickies British Supersport front runner Jack Kennedy will join the Profile Racing WorldSSP squad as a stand-in for the injured Stefan Hill at Imola and Donington Park.

Hill has been sidelined by a wrist injury suffered in training before Motorland Aragon and Kennedy, who has experience in the series, will race alongside Luke Stapleford during the BSB summer break.

“I’m really looking forward to riding for Profile Racing at the next two rounds of the WorldSSP Championship. I appreciate the opportunity they’re giving me and also like to give big thanks to my team boss, Dave Tyson, GAC MV Agusta for agreeing to it,” said Kennedy.

“It’s a completely new bike for me but we can use the first round to get dialled in and then look to Donington to take it up a notch. It will be great to be back battling in World Supersport. I think it can only benefit my own championship as with the long summer break in British Supersport, it’s the perfect way to keep bike fit and sharp so I can come back raring to go.”
