Following the conclusion of his season competing in the AMA Sportbike Championship, 22 year old Chaz Davies has signed a three race deal to race the ParkinGO Triumph BE1 675 in the World Supersport Championship.
Davies will ride as team-mate to Australian legend Garry McCoy in the two man team following the departure of regular rider Gianluca Nannelli.
Davies campaigned an ageing Aprilia RSV in America this season, finishing ninth in the overall championship standings, but is no stranger to Supersport machinery.
During the last three seasons he rode for the Attack Kawasaki team onboard a ZX6-R in the AMA Supersport series where he secured race wins including a prestigious Daytona 200 victory. Motorcycle News
Davies took to the track at Mugello for his first laps on the BE1 Daytona 675. The next World Supersport round at Imola is ten days away, so the team has a short window of opportunity to match the rider’s style with the demands of the motorcycle.
“I would like to thank Giuliano (Rovelli) and the team for this opportunity,” declared Davies. “This is my first chance to ride in the WSS Championship and I am excited to experience it and give it my best shot. I’ve watched ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing Team’s results progress and I think that between the team and myself we can aim for strong results on the three-cylinder Triumph.” MotorcycleUSA.com
