Queenslander Aiden Wagner has signed a deal with Gemar Balloons Team Lorini Honda for the 2017 World Supersport Championship (WorldSSP), joining Kyle Smith on-board the CBR600RR.

Starting the 2016 season with GRT Racing Team, Wagner was able to secure some point-scoring finishes, including a top 10 in his debut race at his home round of Phillip Island.

The 22-year-old is not short of experience, becoming the Australasian Supersport Champion in 2014, and Wagner will bring a solid level of knowledge to the Frosinone-based squad that countryman Glenn Scott raced for last year.

“I am proud to compete with Gemar Balloons Team Lorini Honda, a team with great professionalism and an excellent technical package,” Wagner said. “I will give everything to show my talent and give great satisfaction.”

Achieving a top six finish in the championship standings with Ayrton Badovini – who will move to WorldSBK with Grillini Kawasaki – last season, Gemar Balloons Team Lorini will hope to have another strong year with its new line-up.
