Team Suzuki Press Office – December 10.
Roger Lee Hayden and Toni Elias have re-signed for the Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing team to contest the 2017 MotoAmerica AMA Superbike Championship aboard the all-new GSX-R1000.
Hayden, a long time GSX-R racer, is excited to extend his relationship with Suzuki for yet another year. The Owensboro, Kentucky rider logged 12 podium finishes, including two race-wins, during the 2016 season, and he looks forward to campaigning the legendary GSX-R1000 into championship contention in 2017.
Elias, who joined Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing last season, raced the GSX-R1000 to six first-place finishes in 2016, securing third place overall in the series. A former Moto2 World Champion, Elias is no stranger to winning and looks forward to putting the all-new GSX-R1000 on the top-step of the box in 2017.
