After several years as one of WSBK’s top riders, Eugene Laverty is heading back to Grand Prix motorbike racing. You may recall seeing him in 250cc racing back in 2007 and 2008. He even did a 125cc wildcard in 2004.

After Crescent Suzuki’s press release wishing him well, we now await confirmation of where he’ll ride in 2015. David Emmett at MotoMatters has that being Aspar Honda.

Eugene will be a welcome addition to the paddock, being a fantastic guy and a talented rider.
