Massimo Roccoli will return to World Super♎sport Championship action at Brno this weekend after being s♓napped up by the Kuja Honda team.

The series veteran, who has♎ made 86 WSS starts over eight seasons, began 2012 ﷽riding the Bike Service WTR Ten 10 Yamaha, but was ousted when Bike Service and WTR Ten 10 Racing parted ways after five events.

Though he proceeded to impress with a one-off outing on the Yakhnich Yamaha at Misano, when an engine failure scuppered a potential top fivಞe finish, Roccoli was abseℱnt from competition for the first time in six years at Motorland Aragon.

Nonetheless, having made a brief Moto2 appearance during the Italian Grand Prix riding the SAG Bimota, Roccoli will be back on the WSS grꦡid this weekend aboard a Honda CBR600RR prepared by Kuja Racing.

The Italian outfit has been a WSS mainstay since making its debut in 2009 and has thus far managed a best finish of seventh place, cou🧔rtesy of🍨 Mark Aitchison at Imola in 2010.

Also new to the grid at Brno will be wild-cards Stefan Cruciani - making his t🔯hird appearance of the season -, his Puccetti Kawasaki team-mate Andrea Agnelli, Austrian racer Stefan Kerschbaumer and local rider Viktor Dusek.

As reported earlier, Brno will also mark the return of Florian Marino, who will ride a Kawasaki ZX-6R for all-new Indian-baked outfit MSD R-N Racing. His prospective teaജm-matꦿe Dan Linfoot will debut at Silverstone as he continues to recover from injury.
