Sylvain Guintoli who will be switching from the BSB Championship to WSBK is going to debut at the Portimao race this weekend with his new 2010 team.
The former MotoGP rider, turned BSB rider underwent surgery last week to remove a screw from below his knee will ride the Alstare Suzuki for the first time on Friday and then take part in post race tests on Tuesday and Wednesday.

James Toseland who lost his MotoGP ride to Ben Spies, will also be taking part in the WSBK tests after receiving permission from his soon-to- be ex-team manager Herve Poncharal, to familiarize himself with the Portimao track and get to know the Yamaha R1 alongside new team mate Cal Crutchlow.

Toseland will fly to Portugal immediately after the MotoGP Sepang race that takes place this weekend.
Chris Vermeulen who’ll also be switching to WSBK next season with a two year contract with Kawasaki Racing team, will not be taking part in the tests, as Rizla Suzuki team manager Paul Denning prefers that the Aussie rider concentrate on the final race of the season at Valencia, that takes place November 8th.
