Eugene Laverty signs up for Yamaha WSS team

-
Team Yamaha Sterilgarda seems to be geared up and well-prepared for the upcoming 2011 World Sportbike. They just finalized their line of superb riders competing for the much-awaited match. Along with MotoGP rider Marco Melandri fighting for the title, Yamaha had also listed World Supersport rider Eugene Laverty to play for the team. For the 2011 season, the 24-year-old Irish rider who was last year’s WSS runner-up, will ride Yamaha Sterilgarda's YZF-R1 Superbike.



Eugene Laverty races for Parkalgar, Honda two seasons ago. Back then, Laverty finished second to current Yamaha Sterilgarda rider Cal Crutchlow in 2009, and currently trails Hannspree Ten Kate Honda’s Kenan Sofuoglu by 12 points in the 2010 World Supersport Championship, with seven wins this year in 11 races.

Eugene Laverty was not new to Yamaha. The young rider was famous for greatly showing off at the 250cc MotoGP Championship to enjoy a 2 wild card World Supersport rides in 2008 in place of injured rider Fabien Foret. Laverty was noted very impressive during those times by finishing third in his second outing at Vallelunga.

With Laverty's splendid racing experience, it's a great decision for the Yamaha team to choose him to compete in the championship. As said by Yamaha Motor Europe racing manager, Laurens Klein Koerkamp, “We’ve been very impressed with Eugene in the World Supersport Championship...He is a very talented racer who has shown great dedication to training, is focused on victory and we know he’s a great person to work with. We have proved with Cal Crutchlow that we have the facility to bring young riders through from World Supersport, continue to nurture and develop them in World Superbike and provide them with further opportunities in MotoGP if the situation is right. We look forward to working with Eugene and believe he has the talent to continue through with Yamaha into the future.”

As the 2011 season comes nearer, more excitement arises for the Yamaha team, as they are all ready for the match with their two outstanding racers. Signing Laverty for the upcoming race is surely an aid for the team's victory.
