GREGG BLACK JOINS SUZUKI ENDURANCE RACING TEAM
Former Suzuki team rider and double Endurance World Superstock Champion Gregg Black is to join the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team for the new 2017-2018 EWC Championship that gets underway next month.
British-born Black will join long-time SERT riders Vincent Philippe and Etienne Masson aboard the new 2017 GSX-R1000 Suzuki for the opening round at the Le Castellet Circuit, near Marseilles in southern France on September 15th to 17th, as Team Principal and Manager Dominique Meliand makes a welcome return to duties from a long recuperation.
Black, who lives in France, joins the Le Mans-based 15-time Endurance World Champions as no stranger, and brings a wealth of experience, determination and enthusiasm to the series’ most-successful team: Black won both his Endurance Superstock titles aboard the Junior Team LMS Suzuki GSX-R1000, based out of the same French headquarters as SERT.
Known as the ‘Black Attack,’ the 28-year-old Derbyshire-born rider will also be involved in the development of the new GSX-R1000 Superbike alongside his team-mates.
Full 2017-2018 EWC Schedule from FIM Endurance will be issued in the coming days.
