As.com: Bautista with Showa and HRC machinery until 2014

Spanish publication As.com has reported that GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Álvaro Bautista has reached an agreement to stay on HRC machinery and use Showa suspension through the 2014 season. This could keep the Spaniard at the Gresini squad for a further year, having initially signed for only 2013. Having previously voiced his concern about being the only Honda on such suspension, Bautista has cited that he is pleased by the long-term project Showa has in mind, and still firmly hopes that it can elevate him to top satellite rider.
