Outgoing Alstare Suzuki World Superbike man Yukio Kagayama has said that although he has had a tough year in 2009, he intends to put it all behind him when he returns to British Superbikes with the Worx squad.
Kagayama last raced in BSB during the 2004 season when he finished third in the series. The likeable Japanese won lots of fans with his never-say-die attitude and continued to race through incredible pain after a huge crash at Cadwell Park.
"It is no secret that this season has been quite hard for me and my team, but recently things have been going much better. It’s a little sad leaving Suzuki Alstare after such a long time because I have made so many friends and have had a good time with them," said Kagayama.
"But, things change and I will go to the BSB next year and try my best to win the championship. I have many friends and fans in UK, so this will not be difficult for me. Before I go though, I would like to finish with a podium or two in Portimao so that I can say a big thank you to the team and Francis."
