Last year Rizla Suzuki boss promised Elena Myers that she could ride the GSV-R around the Valencia track during the end of season MotoGP test, unfortunately for Myers it didn’t pan out.
Luckily for Myers, Paul Denning didn’t forget her nor his promise, because she’ll be finally getting her chance to turn a few laps on the Suzuki MotoGP prototype next Thursday at the Indianapolis Speedway ahead the GP weekend.

Myers who finished fifth in this year’s AMA Pro SuperSport West Division on the Team SuzukiScoopFans bike after missing two rounds due to a broken wrist, said “Words cannot describe how excited I am to ride the Suzuki GSV-R at Indy during the MotoGP weekend this year.
We had talked about it last year, but things didn’t work out, so here’s a big thanks to everyone involved for making this possible.

When I sat on the bike last year, it felt like it was made to fit me.
So actually being able to spin a few laps on it will be quite the treat.

I’m really looking forward to the weekend.
Suzuki’s MotoGP Team Manager, Paul Denning, commented, “We are delighted to be able to give Elena this opportunity to get some understanding of how Suzuki’s MotoGP bike feels and operates.
She is a very talented racer – not ‘for a girl’ – she’s just fast full-stop! MotoGP is the pinnacle of every racer’s ambition, and there aren’t so many people who have ridden the very latest 2011 GSV-R – Bautista, Hopkins, Aoki and now Elena! I would guess she’s also the only female racer to have ever ridden an 800cc MotoGP machine? Either way, we really hope she enjoys the experience.
