Same again for Roccoli

Massimo Roccoli is to remain with the Intermoto Czech Honda team for the 2010 FIM Supersport World Championship.

The 24-year-old from Rimini is currently 10th in the points standings ahead of the final race of the season in Portugal.

Roccoli, who has raced in World Supersport since 2004, has one win in the series to his name at Misano in 2006.

He said: "After the problems I had in 2008 this year I've started to enjoy myself again and this has led to some good results.

"I've maybe made a few too many mistakes but I've always raced with an attacking mentality and sometimes this has been my downfall.

"But I'm pleased with my championship so far and at Portimao I'll try and finish it in the best possible way.

"The team have given me the necessary guarantees on a technical level to try and make a quality leap forward and I'm really pleased to be able to take part in a new Supersport season with them."
