Gino Rea has joined Team Go Eleven Kawasaki for the 2017 World Supersport championship after just one🌄 season with GRT MV Agusta.

The British rider has produced mixed fortunes on his maiden campaign on the MV Agusta with three podium results punctuated by four🍌 retirements, while he was forced to miss the final two rounds due to injury which saw him slip to seventh in the World Supersport riders' championship.

The 20🔥09 European Superstock 600 champion, who returned to World Supersport in 2015 after a difficult three years in Moto2, is confident of a competitive package with the Kawasaki ZX-6R next year to be a contender fo💮r the World Supersport title.

"I am extremely excited to join Team Go Eleven Kawasaki for 2017. I followed their progress and I think we can achieve great things together," Rea said. "My 2016 season is over and although it was a bit💖 unlucky, I still achieved three podiums and two front row st๊arts. I want to continue like this in 2017 and finish much higher in the Championship.

❀"I am very happ♑y to ride a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, it's a good motorcycle and I am sure that Team Go Eleven will provide me with a competitive World Supersport. I know I can fight for the win and I want to be able to fight for the world title.

"I would like to thank Gianni ♛Ramello, Luciana Fornaseri and Denis Sacchetti for believing in me and giving me this exciting opportunity. Also big thanks to my sponsors Jap4Performance and Passerini Performance for their support."
