Two-time WERA National Endurance Champion Vesrah Suzuki has renewed its deal with American Suzuki and will defend its title in 2003. That’s the word from American Suzuki’s Morgan Broadhead and Vesrah Suzuki team owner Mark Junge, both speaking at Road Atlanta Thursday.

“We’ll be back, same team, same program,” Junge told Roadracingworld.com. “Tray Batey, John Jacobi and I will be back on the GSX-R1000 in the 2003 WERA National Endurance Series. We will also be sprinting in the WERA National Challenge Series but we haven’t decided which riders will ride in which classes. We may be doing something with the new SV1000, though.”

“We will continue to work with Vesrah Suzuki next year on the WERA Endurance series,” confirmed Broadhead.

Suzuki has won the WERA National Endurance Series for the last three consecutive years and has won at least 16 of the last 20 WERA National Endurance Championships.
