The extra development information that he is giving to the Suzuki factory is valuable in helping the engineers in their efforts to improve the
performance of the machine. His attendance at the next two events is designed to help the factory continue its rapid pace of machine development.
The 34-year-old Japanese star said: "I am riding in the GPs to help improve the GSV-R and speed up its development process. In the last three races we
have tried many things and I believe we are in a position to continue making progress. Riding in the next two races proves Suzuki's commitment to making this bike a winner this year. I will be riding my hardest to develop the bike and get a good result for Suzuki."
