Yoshimura at Monza with Sakai not Kagayama
The Yoshimura Suzuki Team from Japan will make its wildcard debut at Monza this coming weekend, but not with scheduled rider Yukio Kagayama, who was hurt in a BSB race at Oulton Park on Monday.


Kagayama was the victim of a race 1 incident that left him unable to take part in the second encounter. He is reported to have a small crack in his back and suffering some pain.


Yukio's replacement will be Daisaku Sakai, who is also down to ride in two other WSBK races this year, and who has been flown over directly from Japan.


Yoshimura was to have made its debut in WSB at Assen last time out, but the volcanic dust cloud that caused air travel chaos over Europe stopped their bikes and parts arriving, and they rescheduled for the Monza round.
