Now, Cardenas is looking forward to returning to the premier class, this time on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000.

"I am extremely happy to have the opportunity to race for one of the best, if not the best, Superbike teams in the U.S.,� said Cardenas. “It's really a dream come true to become part of the Yoshimura Suzuki team. I will give everything I have to try to obtain the best results for the team and for me. And hopefully I will be in the mix for the top spot in the championship."
