They might be pushing him out!

One a related note, this is his letter to a privateer who races an R1.

Matt:

Thank you for your two letters sent during December relating to Yamaha’s participation in the 2010 Parts Canada Superbike Championship and your racing plans. I understand that you are upset about these recent events, and I cannot provide any assurances that the YZF-R1 will be eligible for Pro competition in the 2010 Parts Canada Series.

Your second letter suggests that these issues are somehow personal for me. I can assure you that this is not the case; in much the same way that Yamaha’s withdrawal for 2010 is not a personal matter either.

I represent a number of companies that fund the series, both in terms of overall organization, event structure and television coverage of the Canadian national road racing tour. Our future plans and directions are set during meetings of a management group made up of these companies’ representatives, and I then explain the plans publicly – these decisions are not solely by me, nor are they arrived at in a casual manner.

When you question my concerns regarding privateer competitors, I would like to make it clear that I was referring to 600cc class racers – we have far more competitors using R6 equipment than R1, and these existing 600cc riders were not affected by this recent decision regarding the R1 and Superbike Feature class.

I have spoken at length to several individuals on you summary sheet, so you might want to chat with them or call me directly. I will be sure to show both your letters to the parties involved with reaching the Yamaha R1-related ruling.

If there is any change in the policy for 2010, we will announce this update via the website, as per usual.

Colin Fraser
