Kagayama to BSB

Kagayama to race British Superbike in 2010

Team Suzuki Press Release

Suzuki GB and the Crescent British Superbike Team have today confirmed an agreement that will see Yukio Kagayama rejoin the team to race the 2010 British Superbike Championship and current Worx Suzuki rider Sylvain Guintoli move to the Alstare Suzuki World Superbike team.

Guintoli, who recently signed a contract to remain with the team, was offered the alternative to move to the World series after Suzuki factory bosses and the Alstare team witnessed his impressive migration to the Superbike class in the UK during the 2009 season.

Said Suzuki GB Managing Director, Yasuharu Osawa: "Sylvain has proven to be an incredible asset for Suzuki this year, despite his unfortunate injury early on. We want to support Sylvain's career while also doing what is best for the Suzuki family, so following Alstare's request, we have unanimously agreed for him to move to World Superbikes for the 2010 season. We would like to thank the BSB team sponsors, especially Worx, for their complete support in this decision."

Worx Crescent Suzuki team manager, Jack Valentine added: "To have Yukio back in the UK is great news. He is still a class act and was incredibly popular with UK fans during his two-year stint in the series last time. He is as determined as ever and will be back here with one goal in mind - to challenge for the title. Our decision to run two riders in 2010 is also good news for the BSB Championship, for Suzuki and for all of our partners."

While the Worx Crescent Suzuki team have confirmed their two rider 2010 championship assault, confirmation of the full rider line-up will be confirmed at a later date.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (09-10)
The 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 gets a lighter, more compact 999cc inline-four, which delivers more power and torque and offers enhanced throttle response across the engine’s entire rpm range. The K9 GSX-R1000 engine is now more oversquare than before, and the compression ratio has also gone up from 12.5:1 to 12.8:1. We took full advantage of this engine by picking up 15% more horse power and dropping the overall weight of the bike significantly with the HMF Street Bike Series installed.

Seeley takes ISB series lead with hat trick

Team Suzuki Press Release

Alastair Seeley - Irish Superbike Championship

Relentless Suzuki's 2009 British Superstock Champion Alastair Seeley took control of the Irish Superbike Championship during the series' annual trip to Anglesey at the weekend with a stunning hat trick on his 2009 GSX-R1000 Superbike.

Seeley had missed nine races in the 2009 ISB Championship prior to the event due to British Championship commitments, but his hat trick of wins on the west coast made it nine wins from nine starts, catapulting him to the top of the table with only five races remaining.

Seeley also shaved over half a second off the existing track lap record at the undulating 2.1-mile International Circuit and is now a firm favourite to land his second championship crown of the season.
