The Anglo-American rider according to Crescent Suzuki team manager Jack Valentine, will be racing in the British Superbike Championship in 2011 for his one rider squad.
“The guy has raw talent and has been on podium in MotoGP, so he has more pedigree than anyone else on the BSB grid.
That’s why we started chatting to him.
He is really focused and sees BSB as his stepping stone to get back to world level.
” said Valentine speaking to Crash.
netOfficial announcement should be made at the end of the month along with the name of the title sponsor, and bets are on that the Monster Energy logo will be somewhere on that GSX-R 1000.
The first round of the BSB championship kicks off at Brands Hatch, April 22nd.
