The Prodina squad has officially secured its lineup for the upcoming international racing season following the departure of their star runner-up rider. Operating under the Kawasaki banner, the team enjoyed a stellar campaign where they led the championship standings for a significant portion through David Salvador, before ultimately clinching second place in the overall standings. Meanwhile, Antonio Torres finished fourth in the championship standings, successfully sealing the team's trophy for the Italian-based outfit.
With David Salvador moving up to the factory Kawasaki squad in the Supersport World Championship, team manager Riccardo Drisaldi scoured the domestic racing scene to find a suitable replacement. The choice ultimately fell upon Filippo Bianchi, a dominant force in the Italian national sportbike series who secured eight victories and ten podium finishes out of thirteen races aboard an Aprilia machine. Racing fans will remember his impressive wildcard appearance at Misano, where he stunned the paddock by finishing second in race one and fourth in race two.
Looking ahead to his upcoming world championship debut, the young Italian expressed immense gratitude for the career-defining opportunity provided by his new management. Zunachst einmal mochte ich dem Team fur die Chance danken, expressed Filippo Bianchi regarding his graduation to the world stage. Fur mich ist es die Erfullung eines Traum, den ich schon seit meiner Kindheit habe, noting that adapting to new circuits and mastering the new ZX-6R 636 machinery will present a steep learning curve.
The intense preparation phase immediately kicks off this weekend during the season finale of the Spanish sportbike championship at Jerez. The rider emphasized the importance of maximizing every free practice session to gather telemetry data, understand the motorcycle behavior, and forge a strong technical relationship with the crew ahead of the new racing calendar.
