Rizla began its relationship with Suzuki two years ago and has now agreed a one-year extension to its title sponsorship.

"We have had a good relationship over the past two seasons and Suzuki has benefited from Rizla's strong marketing activity during that time," said Fumihiro Oonish, Suzuki Racing Department Group Leader.

Oonish added that the Rizla 'blue' has become a “unique colour” in MotoGP and is instantly recognisable as a part of the Suzuki team.
