There is one more engagement awaiting Miquel Pons before the final act of the Italian Championship, scheduled for the weekend of September 27-29 at Imola. The Spanish rider will in fact compete in the World Supersport round to be held this weekend in Cremona, thanks to the partnership between the Prodina Racing Team and the AltoGo Racing Team, whose colors Pons defends in the national Supersport after taking over from Lorenzo Dalla Porta in the last round at Mugello.
A collaboration that will bring the 27-year-old born in Palma de Mallorca to face both the Lombardy round and the remaining three races of the World Championship category, taking the place vacated by Gabriele Giannini in the WorldSSP Challenge. But competing on a different bike from the one used by the Anzio rider.
In fact, the Prodina team will continue to field its Kawasaki Ninja in Supersport300, facing, however, the last races of the intermediate class of the series derivatives with the Yamaha R6 of Giovanni Altomonte's team, to allow the Spaniard to immediately express the speed and potential shown at Mugello. Where he finished 7th in his first race in the CIV SS600 NG, after securing the front row of the grid with an excellent 3rd place in qualifying.
Pons will also be able to count on the technical support provided jointly by the AltoGo Racing Team and Progetti Dinamici, which will share skills and resources with the aim of achieving outstanding results in these last races of the season.
"This collaboration with Alto Go represents a strategic opportunity for our team. We will focus more resources on Supersport300, while maintaining our presence in WorldSSP thanks to the experience of Altogo, winner of two European titles," commented Riccardo Drisaldi, Prodina Team Manager.
"The choice to use Yamaha R6s does not indicate a lack of affection towards Kawasaki, a brand of which Prodina remains a supporter and a reference point for small displacements, but responds to a specific request from the rider. In this way, we will avoid having to start a new testing route, considering the limited availability of time and races remaining," added the team manager, who is already working with Progetti Dinamici to confirm ProDina's presence in World Supersport in 2025 as well.
