It might seem hard to believe, but it's been almost two years since Suzuki made the shock announcement that it was pulling out of international motorcycle racing. Except, of course, that didn't materialize, which you'll already know if you're a fan of the FIM Endurance World Championship.
You see, by December of that very year, Suzuki had also announced that the Yoshimura SERT (Suzuki Endurance Racing Team) would remain to contest that series in 2023. The team showed strong progression over the entirety of the four-race season, finishing seventh at Round One - the 24 Heures Motos; fourth at Round Two in Spa; 11th at the Suzuka 8 Hours; and capping the season with a stunning victory at the Bol d'Or.
