-----------------

Kenan Sofuoglu is to switch teams for the remainder of the 2014 World Supersport season. From Jerez, Sofuoglu will ride the Kawasaki ZX-6R for the San Carlo Puccetti Racing team, leaving the Mahi Racing Team India squad.

The move is a result of financial problems for the Mahi Racing team. By switching to the Puccetti team, Sofuoglu and Kawasaki were assured that the Turkish World Supersport champion could continue to compete for the remainder of the season. Sofuoglu is currently fourth in the World Supersport championship, but lost any hope of a fourth World Supersport title when the South African round was canceled, as he trails championship leader Michael van der Mark by 77 points.

Below is the press release from Kawasaki:

Kenan Sofuoglu To Join San Carlo Puccetti Racing At Jerez

Three-time FIM Supersport World Champion Kenan Sofuoglu will compete on a Ninja ZX-6R inside the San Carlo Puccetti Racing set-up at the next round of the championship, after an amicable parting with his previous Mahi Racing Team India squad.

Sofuoglu, a superstar in his native Turkey and WSS champion for Kawasaki in 2012, was victorious at the Motorland Aragon round in April and has claimed two further podiums since then. He is currently fourth in the championship after his most recent top three finish at Portimao in July.
