Melandri to Start 2009 MotoGP Season in One-Rider Team
FEBRUARY 26, 2009 - Kawasaki announces that after constructive talks between Kawasaki, Dorna and other involved parties, a new one rider team will participate in the 2009 MotoGP Championship season. This decision was made after negotiations that followed Kawasaki’s January 2009 announcement to suspend its MotoGP factory team activities due to the economic crisis. Rider for the new MotoGP team will be the Italian Marco Melandri.
The team will be equipped with Kawasaki motorcycles and supporting materials.
That Kawasaki has come to this new team approach is the result of on the one hand the need for a strong reduction of racing investments and on the other hand the necessity to come to constructive solutions for all related parties.
The new team will disclose more details about its 2009 season’s plans on a short notice.
