With the ‘silly season’ in full swing, WorldSBK.com took time out at the last round in Malaysia to catch up with Paul Denning, team owner of Voltcom Crescent Suzuki. Is the English-based outfit set to end its long-term partnership with Japan’s Suzuki?

“The fundamental and first point is to understand Suzuki’s intention in World Superbike,” Denning explains in an exclusive interview. “I can’t negotiate with riders until the manufacturer’s position is clear. It’s no secret within the industry that a new GSX-R coming. We need to understand when that machine will be available to the team and fundamentally if Suzuki are in World Superbike for next year.”

In the full video interview, Denning also talks of rumours linking his team to other manufacturers such as Aprilia and Yamaha. This can be viewed on WorldSBK.com.
