Cazzola signs for full-time World Supersport ride
Kuja Racing signs fast female for 2010 squad
TEAM KUJA RACING has confirmed female racer Paola Cazzola as the squad's second rider in the 2010 World Supersport Championship.
Cazzola will become the first female rider to compete full-time in the Supersport World Championship. The 32-year-old from Vicenza will race in the Italian squad alongside Danilo Dell'Omo.
Speaking to WSB's official website, Cazzola said:
"The plan to compete started off half-way through last year, it's clearly the aim of every rider to take part in the world championship so here I am."
The Italian admits using an X-Box to learn some of the tracks she'll race on next season.
"I know Assen and the Italian circuits, except for Imola where I've only done 10 laps on a Ducati. It'll all be new for me, I even bought an X-Box to learn the tracks!
"I will be the first woman to take part in a whole season, and I'm proud to be able to participate. I'm the most victorious Italian female rider, I hope to be able to be a worthy representative for the female sex and open up the doors of this sport to more women."
