2009 Romanian Supersport champion and 2010 Superbike race winner Catalin Cazacu will take countryman Roby Muresan's seat at PTR Roma𓆉nia Honda at the forthcoming Brno ꧑World Supersport round.

27-year-old Cazacu is planning to fini🎀sh the WSS season with PTR, before mounting a full season challenge 🐬in 2012.

"This is a dream come true for me, not only am I joining the highest profile team in Romania, but I will be starting at what is the nearest home round to Romani🍃a at Brno - a track that I know well. My aim is to learn the bike quickly and challenge for good position," he said.

"That is ambitious but I know my own ability and♔ the Brno circuit very well. It is aꦰlso clear from the performances of Sam Lowes, Miguel Praia, James Ellison and Pawel Szkopek that the PTR Romania Honda is a very fast motorcycle capable of running easily in the top 10 and challenging for race wins."

"It has bee♛n a long time in discussion with Catalin and now we are delighted to welcome him to the team," said team manager Simon Buckmaster. "He has a lot of confidence and experience at Brno, so we are lo𝔍oking forward to seeing what he can achieve. He is a popular racer in Romania and we hope a lot of his fans come and join us for his first race and keep supporting him throughout the rest of the season, that will help him a lot."

Muresan🌊 is hoping to come back later in the 🌃season and ride alongside Cazacu.

The seventh r🌞ound of the World Supersport Championship takes place at Brno on Sunday 10th July.
