British Supersport runner-up Ben Currie will make his debut on the world stage for 2022 in the FIM Supersport World Championship.

Currie will step across to the World Championship to partner 2020 WorldSSP300 Champion Jeffrey Buis, at G.A.P. MOTOZOO Racing by Puccetti. The Dutch rider has already enjoyed his WorldSSP debut with the team in Argentina after the close of the lightweight schedule, and will complete the year in Indonesia before his rookie full-time season, with Currie joining him for the 2022 campaign.

The G.A.P. MOTOZOO Racing by Puccetti team will have direct support from Kawasaki Motors Europe in their second season in WorldSSP, after making their debut in 2021.

“I have been working for a long time to take the opportunity to compete in the Supersport 600 World Championship,” Currie confirmed.

“For me it is a dream come true and I am looking forward to getting on track for the first tests. I will have the opportunity to continue my work with Kawasaki and this is certainly very positive.

“In these seasons I have always achieved great results in Supersport 600 with the Kawasaki ZX-6R and I am sure that thanks to the support of Motozoo Racing by Puccetti I will have the opportunity to reap a lot of satisfaction.”

“I am really very happy to confirm already now my presence in the Supersport World Championship in 2022,” Buis added. “Continuing with Motozoo, the team with which I am competing in the last two races of the 2021 season, in Argentina and Indonesia, makes me happy.

“I got along well with them right from the debut, they are very professional and prepared. Already in my debut race we managed to reach the points zone. Having confirmed our collaboration also for 2022 will allow us to prepare ourselves in the best possible way for next season.”
