Rizla Suzuki team manager in the British Superbikes, Jack Valentine, told MCN: "Sylvain has now signed to ride for Suzuki in British Superbikes next year. I've not met him yet, but I've spoke to him regularly on the phone and he appears professional and very focussed on the job in hand.

"Sylvain sees the move as a step back, but he knows he needs it in order to move forward to the World Superbike team. He's not interested in anything financially; he just wants to go and win races."
