SUZUKI GSX-R CUP – THE FINALISTS

Suzuki has released the final entry list for the 2003 Worldwide GSX-R Cup Final that takes place at the Magny-Cours circuit in central France as part of the final round of the World Superbike series on October 19th.

A total of 28 Suzuki GSX-R riders from 15 countries around the world have been competing in qualifying races in their home countries for a place on the start line of this unique Cup Final event where they will all start with an equal chance of winning.

All the finalists will draw for identically prepared GSX-R750 machines fitted with Michelin Pilot tires and Yoshimura silencers and brake components. Seating and footrest adjustments are allowed as well as fine tuning of the fuel injection system, but beyond that it is down to rider skill.

The GSX-R Cup final will consist of two races within the main WSB and WSS race program on Sunday 19th October.
