New Suzuki team in WSBK
Crescent Suzuki, based in the south of England, will spread its wings into the Superbike World Championship in 2012, with the rider line-up still to be announcedThe British-based Crescent Suzuki has announced its participation in the 2012 Superbike World Championship.
Crescent has supplied Suzuki motorcycles from its dealership since 1963 and has competed in the British Superbike Championship since 1996. The Crescent Suzuki team has enjoyed championship success in both Supersport and Superbike classes and only missed out on the 2011 British Superbike title -- with American rider John Hopkins -- by the very narrowest of margins after a thrilling finale.
The team has also achieved multiple world Superbike podiums over the years when entered as a wildcard at its home rounds, and achieved pole position with Hopkins at this year’s Silverstone race.
Over the past few years, Suzuki representation has been wafer thin in WSBK, with only Alstare Suzuki a permanent fixture on the grid – and privateers staying clear of the GSX-R1000.
The team’s commercial partners and rider line-up will be announced in due course.
The 2012 Superbike World Championship will commence at Phillip Island from February 24-26. Click on the following link to buy tickets.
