Haslam confirmed with factory Kawasaki squad for Suzuka

JG Speedfit Kawasaki’s Leon Haslam has been confirmed as a member of the factory Team Green squad for this year’s Suzuka Eight-Hours.

The Derbyshire rider will form part of a three-man team – alongside Kazuma Watanabe and a third rider who is yet to be announced. Already a two-time Suzuka winner, Haslam is no stranger to the Japanese track.

The team will race on the 2017 Ninja ZX-10RR machines, and with a year’s experience on Kawasaki machinery, Haslam is confident he can help take the team to one place higher than last year and race the team to victory.

“I’m extremely pleased to announce that I’ll be competing for Team Green Kawasaki at the 2017 Suzuki 8 Hour race again. Last year was an unbelievable experience and working with the Team Green squad to secure a second place finish was awesome. In 2017, I’m super excited to take on the challenge again and try to go one better and get on the top step of the podium,” he said.
