Suzuki's MotoGP riders Chris Vermeulen and Loris Capriossi will on the grid for this year's championship but it is not yet clear whether they will be running the baby blue Rizla colours.
Despite myriad rumours to the contrary, the team's communications manager Tim Walpole told bikesportnews.com that plans to race in 2009 had not changed.
"Nothing has changed as far as we are concerned," said Walpole. "We will be on the grid with Chris and Loris this season and are looking forward to another great year.
"Decisions on whether or not we will be in Rizla colours have not yet been made and we are still in negotiations."
