Chaz Davies is looking 🐭forward to making his World Superbike Championship debut in 2012 🃏aboard a latest specification Ducati 1198.

The Welshman, who romped to the 2011 World Supersport Championshi✨p title with ParkinGO, will step up to the Superbike class for the first time with the same team next season aboard a twin-cylin൩der Ducati.

Indeed, ParkinGO have bold plans for its WSBK venture, purchasing a 2012-specification 1198 and enlisting the help of Lucio Nicastro as manager and Alberto Colombo as its technical🍰 director.

"The plan is to move into Superbike with Chaz," said ParkinGO owner Giuliano Rovelli.🎉 "We will have new 1198 machines. We have ordered them directly from Ducati, so they will be brand new. The team that I have already confirmed is Lucio Nicastro, my right hand/team manager and the technical director of💖 the team will be Alberto 'Moro' Colombo.

"We will have an engineer and an electronics e﷽ngineer from Ducati Corse. We will use ?hlins suspension and we are now p🌱lanning our winter test schedule."

An exciting time for Davies, h🌳e believes the prospect of having Nicastro 🍰and Colombo on board will give him a great opportunity to hit the ground running.

"I rode a Ducati 800 before but it is going to be a million miles away from what this is. Only the brand will be the same. I rode a twin once before for a season in AMA, just not a Ducati. To start in Superbike with all the personnel, like Moro and Lucio and two guys from Ducati - you cannot really ask for a better st💫art."
