Rizla Suzuki MotoGP are to enter three riders in this weekend's race at Sepang.
Team Test Rider Nobuatsu Aoki will join John Hopkins and Chris Vermeulen
at the penultimate round of the season. Aoki will be riding an early prototype version of Suzuki's 2008 GSV-R, which he will also continue to test on the Monday
after the race.
Nobuatsu Aoki:
"I am really looking forward to the race and it is a great honour for me
to be the first person to ride the 2008 GSV-R in an event. It is still
in a prototype stage, but we have already done some testing on it and
are very confident it will be good. I cannot wait to get out racing
again it feels like a very long time since I last competed!"
