        As reported by Motosprint a couple of days ago, the puzzle is now complete. After a two-year absence, Althea Racing is set to return to the Superbike World Championship, or the new-look Supersport category to be precise, re-establishing its connection with Ducati and fielding rider Federico Caricasulo. Having ridden the Yamaha in this year&rsquo;s Supersport and CIV championships, Federico will take to the track with the Panigale V2 955 during the first 2022 tests in January. In the words of Caricasulo and Bevilacqua  The official announcement brings some initial words from the Italian rider, a Fiamme Oro athlete, and the team manager. Federico Caricasulo states: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m really pleased with the opportunity Genesio has offered me. It was unexpected, and I was quick to accept because it&rsquo;s a winning project with a team that needs no introductions and that I&rsquo;ve followed also as a fan. I like the idea of being the team&rsquo;s only rider and think it&rsquo;s the best situation in which to aim for certain results. After five years with Yamaha, in which I think I&rsquo;ve really grown, it&rsquo;s important for me to take on a new challenge that gives me the right motivation. I still have unfinished business in this category, and so my only goal is to improve on past results&rdquo;. While Genesio Bevilacqua adds: &ldquo;Althea didn&rsquo;t need to return but I&rsquo;ve chosen to do so because I deem this Supersport to be the category of the future. We have everything we need to achieve what has always been our only goal &ndash; to win, bringing our experience and our ability as we battle with the best. This Supersport and the new regulation offer the production-derived series a real opportunity for relaunch. It seems designed to put us to the test. Competition is in our DNA and that&rsquo;s why we want to be there&rdquo;. Translated by Heather Watson SBK: Yamaha presents the Razgatlioglu R1 Race Replica

The majority of teams and riders entered in this season&rsquo;s Supersport 600 championship were on track for testing in Spain today, making the most of this official Dorna session, also attended by the 300s. The Montmel&oacute; track will host a championship round come mid-September.  The middle class gains one new entry who&rsquo;s particularly keen to do well. His name&rsquo;s Dominique Aegerter, the Swiss rider returning from the world championship to a category he already knows, and where he will compete with team Ten Kate. Aboard his Yamaha, the Swiss rookie set a best of 1&#39;44&quot;603, having completed a total of 34 laps. The R6 remains the bike to beat, as teams await the new regulation.  Another Iwata bike places second, namely the GMT94 ridden by Federico Caricasulo. After a season with the 1000, the Italian returns to his first love, a series where he&rsquo;s won six races in the past. The pair are separated by just 0.280 of a second.  A crash for Odendaal, taken to Granollers hospital. De Rosa strong with the Ninja   Steven Odendaal was riding well but the new Evan Bros hire then crashed and was taken to the local hospital in Granollers where they are examining his right shoulder, which hit the track hard when he fell.  The number 4 rider finishes behind Jules Cluzel, Carica&rsquo;s team-mate. He is followed by Swedish rider Bergman and Italian Raffaele De Rosa, the first Kawasaki rider. A solid ninth place for sole female entry Maria Herrera.  The rest of the field battles it out   2019 champion Randy Krummenacher is now back, having pulled out last season after the opening round with MV Agusta. Italian champion Luca Bernardi makes a good start. Niki Tuuli returns to 600, specifically the 675 F3. Fuligni, Pizzoli and Taccini battle it out in the same group as Michel Fabrizio, with the ZX-6R. The experienced Italian is using this test as a trial run, to understand the general level and his physical condition after a long absence from competition.

        From Ravenna to Navarra by car, a 17-hour trip each way. Federico Caricasulo drove to Spain to meet with team GMT94, the squad with which he will compete in this year&rsquo;s Supersport championship. After a (half) season on a 1000 machine, the young Italian returns to the 600 series. He&rsquo;s back on the Yamaha R6, a bike he&rsquo;s done very well with in the past. The French team, headed up Christophe Guyot, has carried out an initial test at what is a new track on the 2021 SBK calendar: &ldquo;I liked it and had fun - comments Caricasulo &ndash; the track is great, perhaps a little small, but varied. The first two sectors are very technical and fast, scarily so. Then there&rsquo;s quite a slow mixed section that is also technical and challenging". For those who haven&rsquo;t ridden there, they can look forward to the experience, Federico defining Navarra as: "Like a combination of classic racetrack and small karting track. The asphalt might need re-doing, because it&rsquo;s a bit uneven, and there are potholes but, overall, I really liked it and it was great to ride the race bike&rdquo;. A productive GMT94 test for Carica, who will share the garage with Cluzel   Having travelled all the way to Navarra to collect some useful references and parameters ahead of the August round, Federico is pleased with the work completed with team GMT94: &ldquo;The test went well - he confirms - and the team and I worked very hard, in fact, I can see that we&rsquo;ve taken some real steps forward. We&rsquo;ve grown since day one and hope to continue to do so&rdquo;. Team-mate Jules Cluzel was also on track, his R6 bearing the number 16, while Federico will ride with number 94, matching the French team&rsquo;s own number. Ana Carrasco was also in action with the Ninja 400, as was Johan Gimbert, also on a Kawasaki. Translated by Heather Watson SBK, Bayliss the fearless spirit: cut my finger off, I have to race!       

Federico has completed a test with team Yamaha GMT94 at the Spanish track, a new-entry on the 2021 calendar: &ldquo;There are some really quick sections, then a slow, technical part. I like it, it&rsquo;s fun&rdquo;
