De Rosa remains with Althea BMW as test rider

Reigning FIM Superstock 1000 Champion Raffaele De Rosa will remain with the Althea BMW WorldSBK team as test rider and will make wildcard appearances over the course of the season.

As well as his championship turn, De Rosa also put in two stunning performances at the Qatar finale which meant boss Genesio Bevilacqua couldn’t afford to let him go, so the Italian will be available to fill in if either Jordi Torres or Markus Reiterberger are injured or sacked.

"My goal was to attend the entire SBK season; the team and I have invested all our energy for this purpose, however, it was not possible. I believe that this collaboration for 2017 is very good because it means that there is the will to carry out a common project,” he said.
