American Blake Young will replace Leon Camier in the Fixi Suzuki team at Laguna Seca's World Superbike round at the end of this month.
The former Yoshimura Suzuki rider has been wheeled in to substitute for Camier who was injured in a big highside at Istanbul Park last weekend.
“I’m really excited at the prospect of riding for FIXI Crescent Suzuki and I can’t wait to ride the bike. It was a surprise to get the call, but it will be great to go back to Laguna Seca, especially on a World Superbike - it’s a bit like a dream come true for me and made even better that it’s a Suzuki," said 2012 AMA Superbike runner-up.
"I’m now ready to get out on the bike and try to do some good things on the world stage and see what happens from there. I want to thank all the people that have made this happen and it’s never good when a rider gets injured, so I want to wish Leon all the best for a quick and full recovery, It will be great to ride his bike and hopefully I can do well on it for him and the team.”
