From a press release issued by Jamie Stauffer’s publicist:

Stauffer to decide

Jamie Stauffer is yet to finalise his plans for 2005, following his clean sweep of the three Supersport support races at Phillip Island last weekend.

The Team Kawasaki Australia rider is leaning towards staying Down Under with TKA, but is still considering some offers to return to the US.

“There are a couple of things we’re looking at in America, but it would have to be the right bike and package for me to consider it,” said Stauffer. “Going back to the states is my ultimate goal, but it would be nice to win some championships here before I make my move.”

Stauffer’s confidence has been buoyed by his hot late season form, thanks to on-going development with new bikes in a new team.

“Winning the last three Supersport races of the year was a great way to finish the season, and I’m happy to stay with Kawasaki because I think we have a good shot at the Superbike and Supersport championships next year.

“We’ve still got some sorting out to do with the Superbike – getting it to drive off corners better and finding some more top-end – but the basic package stops well and turns in well. I’m confident the team and I can take it to the next level and mix it with the Hondas, Yamahas and Suzukis.

“The new Kawasaki 600 looks really good, and I believe we can develope it and be even more competitive in the Supersport championship.”
