Stefano Manzi to make WorldSSP debut, replaces injured Andy Verdoia

Moto2 rider Stefano Manzi will make his WorldSSP debut at Jerez this wee🥀kend as he replaces the injured Andy Verdoia.
GMT94 Yamaha have already been through several rider changes this season after starting with꧂ Jules Cluzel and Federico Caricasulo.
The Frenchman remains part of the team al🌊though injured at present, while Caricasulo has since moved to the Biblion Iberica Yamaha Motoxracing t🎉eam.
Oth♛er riders such as Valentino Debise, the ab♈ove-mentioned Verdoia, Dani Valle, Patrick Hobelsberger and Ludovic Cauchi have all raced for the team so far in 2021.
Manzi currently rides a Kalex𒀰 machine in Moto2 but will make a switch to the much favoured Yamaha R6 as it relates to 🐻the Supersport class.
The Italian added: "I am delighted to ✱be taking part in the WorldSSP round in Jerez with GMT94. They are one of the best teams in the chaꦺmpionship.
"I am looking forward to riding the Yamaha R6 🧔in WorldSSP co𝔍nfiguration, as I am used to training on a stock R6.
"There are some differences, but we can do well with the GMT94 tea💟m."
Manzi has just two top ten finishes i💯n Moto2 this season - Qatar (2) and Mugello, and is without points in any of the last five rounds.
Still, that hasn’t stopped Team ꧋Manager, Christophe Guyot from expressing his excitement at having the Italian: "We are glad to welcome Stefano to our tওeam. He comes from Moto2 where he has already made some great moves.
"He knows the Jerez circuit well, as well as the Yamaha R6. He is very keen to join the team and to participat🍎e in this event.
"So he has all the 🌳ingredients to adapt to the GMT94 Yamaha R6 which will get 🧸the number 62."
