SSTK 600 runner-up Nocco to WSS

2013 Superstock 600 runner-up Alessandro Nocco will make his World Supersport Championship debut at Motorland Aragon after securing a deal with the San Carlo Puccetti Kawasaki team.

The young Italian was a three-time race winner in 2013 for San Carlo Team Italian en route to finishing behind team-mate and countryman Franco Morbidelli, who has since progressed to Moto2.

Though Nocco had planned to follow a similar route, his San Carlo connections have instead landed him a regular ride alongside Roberto Tamburini in the expended Puccetti Kawasaki team.

He is the latest SSTK 600 rider to progress to the Supersport class, following on from Christian Gamarino (GO Eleven Kawasaki) and Tony Covena (Intermoto Kawasaki)
