Sylvain Guintoli clocks up the BSB track miles

Crescent Suzuki team boss Jack Valentine says that their new BSB signing Sylvain Guintoli has already got track knowledge of all but four of this year’s BSB tracks, having done the laps in a Suzuki car and is now looking to get out on a motorcycle.

Valentine said: “Sylvain will have been to all the tracks by the end of this month, then we’ll get him back at all of them but on two wheels. We’ve already got him a Suzuki GSX-R1000 road bike prepped ready to go.

“We’re just waiting for the weather to break a little.” Guintoli and Crescent are testing their all-new GSX-R1000 next week at Calafat in Spain.
