It looks like Yoshimura Suzuki has had a small change of heart or their economic situation is getting slightly rosier, because the team will be making another wildcard appearance in the 2011 WSBK season opener at Phillip Island.
The Yoshi team was to compete in three wild card races in 2010, while planning to race on full time basis in the 2011 championship, but after their debut at Monza had to pull out of the Imola and Magny-Cours rounds and put all their international racing plans on hold due to the hard hitting economic crisis.
This time the bike will not have Daisaku Sakai or Yukio Kagayama as riders, but by Josh Waters, the 2009 Australian Superbike champion.
