Suzuki unveils 2018 MotoGP colours

Suzuki unveiled its 2018 MotoGP race colours at Sepang on Saturday where Andrea Iannone and Alex Rins, preparing to start their second season on the GSX-RR, were joined by the whole race team for the launch.

With title-backing from Suzuki's own oil brand Ecstar, the bike - which won in the hands of Maverick Vinales in 2016, but was a best of fourth for both Iannone and Rins last season - retains the familiar blue, white and yellow livery.

However under the skin changes have been made to the chassis and engine to try and cure some of last season's corner-entry issues.

Suzuki has also regained the use of technical concessions - more testing, engine changes and engine development - due to the absence of a podium in 2017.
