Suzuki to make WorldSBK return with wildcard entry at Navarra

Suzuki will make a return to WorldSBK🐓 for the 🍌first time since 2018 with a wildcard entry at Navarra (round seven). 

The Japanese manufacturer’s last wildcard appearance came at Donington Park, when current British Supe🦹rbike🐓 riders Gino Rea and Bradley Ray were in action. 

However,🅰 Suzuki has not been a part of the grid full-time since 2015 when it raced under the Crescent Racing name. 

Naomichi Uramoto, who competes in the Sp๊anishཧ Superbike Championship will be riding the GSX-R1000 Suzuki. 

"Speaking ahead of his WorldSBK debut, Uramo♔to said: “I do not know what to expect, as this♕ has been decided so suddenly, but I thank the team for giving me this great opportunity. 

"Since this is my f🌄irst time racing in t🌺he World Superbike Championship, I am looking forward to it. 

"Since I have an ESBK race at the same circuit the following week, I will try to enjoy it thinki🗹ng as it as a test for the following week."

Wildcard riders have already enjoyed good success this season, as Marvin Fritz, Luke Mossey and Andrea Mantovani all claimed points fin💎ishes during their one-♏off appearances. 

Suzuki’s participation will boost the manufacturer count to s💝ix at Navarra - joining defending champions Kawasaki, Yamah✃a, Ducati, Honda and BMW. 

Suzuki has recorded 32 wins and 139 podiums thro𒈔ughout𓃲 their time in WorldSBK - including a world title in 2005 with Troy Corser.
