Makoto Tamada to ride for Kawasaki in 2008 SBK Championship

Kawasaki announced that SBK and MotoGP race winner Makoto Tamada is to join Regis Laconi in a strong two-man PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse team for the 2008 World Superbike Championship.

Negotiations between Kawasaki and Tamada reached a successful conclusion on 30 November, and now Tamada returns to the championship in which he first came to international notice, thanks to three victories as a wild card entrant on home ground at Sugo.

He further underlined his quality when he moved to the MotoGP class shortly afterwards, winning two races in 2004, one at home in Motegi and the other at Rio.

Tamada has been a target for Kawasaki for some time and his signing consolidates the PSG-1 team and Kawasaki’s mutual commitment to gain success in the forthcoming season.
