Auteur de deux top 10 en Moto2 cette année où il roule sous les couleurs Flex Box HP40 de Sito Pons, “Manzo” participera à une wildcard au guidon de la Yamaha R6 GMT94 lors de la manche de Jerez du 24 au 26 septembre.
Stefano manzi : " I'm excited to take part in the WorldSSP round in Jerez with the GMT94. This is one of the best teams in the championship. I'm looking forward to riding the Yamaha R6 in WorldSSP configuration, as I'm used to training on an R6 with a stock engine. There are some differences, but we can do good things with the GMT94. »
Christophe Guyot : " We are delighted to welcome Stefano to our team. He comes from Moto2 where he has already achieved some great achievements. He knows the Jerez circuit well, as well as the Yamaha R6. He really wants to join the team and take part in this event. It thus has all the ingredients to adapt to the Yamaha R6 of GMT94 which will carry the number 62. »
