Being able to create a high profile team in Voltcom Crescent Suzuki gives us the opportunity to reach out to a broader group of existing and potential clients. Crescent is a highly-professional team and we know that they will carry the Voltcom Group’s name with the same pride and professionalism that they put into making the Suzuki GSX-R the best it can be. With the addition of Eugene and another very exciting rider to be named soon, the team is certainly pushing forward and we are delighted to be a part of it.” Paul Denning – Team Manager: “Crescent Suzuki is very pleased that the Voltcom Group has taken the decision to become title sponsor of the team after its first season in World Superbikes as a team partner. To have secured such a prominent and forward thinking company such as Voltcom in today’s tough commercial environment is good news for the team from a performance perspective – and shows the faith that the company is placing in what we are trying to achieve in 2014.
