The Guandalini Ducati team has officially confirmed that it has renewed its accord with Jakub Smrz for the 2010 season. The Czech rider will therefore line up for the third successive year with the Bologna-based outfit, with the aim of improving on the tenth place overall he finished this season.
Smrz, 26 years old from Ceske Budejovice, will be taking part in his fourth World Superbike season in 2010, and his fourth on a Ducati. The 2009 season was his best so far, and he recorded one fastest lap, one pole position at Misano and one podium, the only one of his career, in race 2 at Assen (Netherlands).
