After two full seasons in Moto3, Maximilian Kofler will move to the World Superbike paddock after agr𝐆eeing a one-year deal with CM Racing in WorldSSP.

The Austrian rider endure𝔉d a difficult 2021 season aboard KTM machinery as he could only manage ten points throughout the year. 

It’s a total that left the former CIP Green Power rider just 26tඣh in the championship, while the 21 year-old also missed races in Catalunya, Sachsenring and A🅰ssen due to injury.

But looking at next season, Kofler will join 2019 WorldSSP champion Randy Krummenacher at CM Racing as the team expands from a one 🔴rider line-up to two. 

CM Racing is also making a move away from൲ Yamaha machinery to instead compete with the new Ducati Panigale V2. 

"First 𓂃of all I want to thank the CM Racing Team for the trust they have placed in me, and for the opportunity to ꧂compete in WorldSSP in 2022 on a Ducati," said Kofler. 

"Racing with this manufacturer is the dream of every rider, so I'm really happy. This change of paddock will give me a lot of s﷽trength and motivation to start the season in the best way. 

"Having a rider like Krummenacher in the💎 box will certainly help me to learn quicꦇkly: I can't wait for the day of the first test, to start working together with the whole team."

The team’s 🌟decision to go with Kofler came down to wanting🌳 a young rider alongside the experienced Krummenacher.

Speaking about his new rider, Team🅠 Director, Manuel Cappelletti added: "We're very pleased to be able to announce that we'll be taking part in WorldSSP with two riders: it's something we're proud of because it represents the achievement of a further objective. 

"We wanted to add a ﷺyoung rider to Krumme🐲nacher who was eager to learn, and Kofler is certainly the right fit. 

"His experience in the Moto3™ Worlဣd Championship will certainly help him to quickly understand the mechanisms of Supersport, supported of course by the CM Racing Team. 

"Between January and February, we'll have our first test, during which Maximilian will get to know his Ducati Panigale V2 955 and his new staff.𒁃ꦯ"

Krummenacher will go intওo his first full season with the team after joining CM Racing midway through 2021 - having started the season on an MV Agusta.
