Team Stiggy Honda has signed Italian rider Gianluca Vizziello to ride alongside Anthony West to complete their Supersport Championship line-up for 2009.
The 28-year-old Italian has a long racing history in the Supersport class and has ridden several seasons in the Superstock 1000cc class, winning several race in 2004, and has also raced in WSBK in 2005.
“I must say that I feel like the happiest person in the world right now!” said Gianluca.
“Straight after signing the contract with Stiggy the other day, I didn’t really show my enthusiasm but now, when everything has sunk in, I have been celebrating for three days!” “The WSS championship is tough and highly competitive, but for next year I know that I will have one of the best and fastest bikes in the championship.
I will work and fight hard to finish on the podium in every race.
My goal for next year is to try to finish in the top five,” he declared.
