Genesio Bevilacqua's Althea Racing will make a return to competition in 2022, fielding Federico Caricasulo in WorldSSP.

The team ceased racing two seasons ago but will be back with the Panigale V2 in an all-Italian effort.

"I am really happy with the opportunity that Genesio is offering me. It was an unexpected proposal that I accepted immediately because it is a winning project with a team that certainly needs no introduction and that I also followed as a fan,"m said Caricasuilo.

"{I like the idea of being the only rider on the team and I think it's the best situation to aim for certain results. After five years with Yamaha in which I believe I have grown a lot, it is important for me to accept a new challenge that gives me the best motivation.

"I still have an unfinished business with this category since 2019 and my only goal is to improve the results I have already achieved."
