“I’m grateful for this opportunity and I’m ready to take on this new challenge!”
Trident Team Manager, Giacomo Ricci is “very pleased” to welcome Verschoor back as he reflected on Verschoor’s season with the team in 2022, as he said: “At the end of the 2022 season, the Dutch rider had left a great memory and we are very motivated and proud to have him back with us.
“I’m sure we have all the ingredients to have a competitive season. Verschoor is a fast and experienced driver, who rarely wastes the opportunities available to him. We aim to do our best to support him and achieve increasingly ambitious goals together.”
