So it appears that Suzuki have given up on moto-gp. It was almost expected but still sad to hear. Down to just 3 manufacturors building full GP bikes next year, so were not going to have many bikes out there again.

No wonder Dorna brought in the CRT rules.

Yep +1

But surely too hard to return after a year out

They have done it before .

Shame as it makes it 3 factories competing.

I would have thought Cresent would have made enough on an impression this year on Suzuki when they pretty much wiped the floor with the factory TAZ in BSB this year.

Hopkins in the hunt for WSB crown in 2012 should make it an epic season

Perhaps to the Japanese psyche a bit of ' egg on face ' is a no-no?
'tis still a shame though.

Suzuki have wanted to pull out of MotoGP for a few years now...so at least they have now done it and got it over with.

Back in 2014....i will believe that when i see it.

Same here

I think they'll do what Honda did in MotoGP with WSB throw everything and the kitchen sink at the Cresent boys

The whole factory thing is, well, if not dead then at the very least mortally wounded.

CRT or something similar is where the future lies. Take a look at F1, which is dominated by non-factory teams, and you can see where it'll end up. And I'm all for it.
