Former works Ducati WorldSBK rider Michel Fabrizio will return to competition this season after securing a WorldSSP ride with the new Motozoo by Puccetti Racing team.

As well as using the machines with which Lucas Mahias and Philipp Oettl concluded the 2020 championship in second and third place, the new team will also be able to count on technical support from Puccetti Racing. Japanese star Shogo Kawasaki will ride the second ZX-6R.

"This year will see Michel harness both his significant experience and his desire to return to the tracks, as he powers team Motozoo by Puccetti Racing’s Ninja ZX-6R to the best possible results," said a team statement.
