Ludo Van Der Veken: “I’m really happy to welcome back for one more season #lorisveneman and welcome #mirkogennai into our team. It has been an easy choice to confirm Loris, we had a very strong rookie season together, we love to work with him and we couldn’t be happier to continue this journey together. I feel he can improve a lot from this year, he’s young but already showed the right speed with one win and a podium and we want to go for more next year. I’m also very confident about #mirkogennai. I’ve always loved his attitude and the way he race, he’s aggressive and he gives his 200% during the races, exactly the kind of rider I’m looking for my team. He is still young but has a lot of experience and I can’t wait to see him on our Kawasaki 400. I want to kindly thank all our partners and especially Kawasaki Europe for its support

Loris Veneman: “I am really happy to continue with #mtmkawasaki Team for the 2024 World Supersport 300 season on board the Kawasaki Ninja 400. I have learnt a lot this year and want to improve for the next season, working well with the team as we already did during this season. My target is to do a lot of training during the winter, #racing also some races in other series when possible in order to keep trained and try to give my best to be always on top in the World Championship. I have a very good feeling with the team, we are strong and I want to thank all #mtmkawasaki Team to trust me one more year, as well as Kawasaki for its support, my family, sponsors and partners

Mirko Gennai: I’m extremely happy to start a new adventure in green, after four years I felt it was time to change and start a new path with multiple World Championship won as #mtmkawasaki Team is. I’m highly motivated to be in the best team of the category and for sure this will give me the extra motivation to start the Championship in the best way. I’ll give my 110% as usual and surely i twill be a very competitive 2024. I want to thank the team and Ludo to trust me and giving me this great opportunity, Kawasaki Europe and Kawasaki Italia for the support and all my sponsors. See you next year
