Dainese brings talent to World Superbike Championship

Dainese has assembled a team of motorbike insurance customers that will be wearing its leathers for the 2011 race season.

The World Superbike Championship kicked off in Australia at the weekend, and the Italian leather firm has invested in talent for superbike success.

Dainese is still behind champion Max Biaggi, alongside Joan Lascorz, Mark Aitchinson, Maxime Berger, Tom Sykes and Leon Haslam.

Gearing up for the season with sports bike insurance in place, Leon Haslam, said: "I'm very happy to be rejoining Dainese.

"The heritage of motorcycle racing and safety protection is synonymous with the Dainese name." 

Kawasaki motorcycle insurance customer and superbike rider Chris Vermuelen was recently forced to withdraw from the Phillip Island Wold Superbike Championship event due to an injury.

The 28-year-old is in the final stages of his rehabilitation following surgery to reconstruct his knee last July, and doctors want to see more progress before he returns to the circuit.
