Suzuki to delay MotoGP return to 2015

Suzuki to delay MotoGP return to 2015

Much anticipated return next year delayed in order to focus on continued bike development; De Puniet only 0.7 seconds off quickest time at Catalunya test

Suzuki has announced its much-anticipated return to MotoGP—only it’s going to be a year later than expected. The official announcement from Suzuki states that it will return to MotoGP in 2015, not next year as was originally predicted by much of the media. The brief statement then outlines the “Europe Test Team in 2013” as consisting of team manager Davide Brivio (whose experience runs from Ducati’s WSBK teams in their glory days to Yamaha MotoGP during Rossi’s previous tenure) and development rider Randy De Puniet, the French veteran who currently rides an Aprilia CRT bike for the Power Electronics Aspar team in MotoGP. The bike’s powerplant is also confirmed to be an inline-four engine, in contrast to the firm’s previous V-four engine in its GSV-R predecessor.
