Yamaha has announced that it has decided to withdraw its factory team from the World Superbike Championship at the end of 2011. The withdrawal comes as a result of a review of Yamaha Motor Europe's marketing activities throughout Europe forced by the rapidly declining motorcycle market throughout the region. The move leaves both Eugene Laverty and Marco Melandri without a ride for next season, although in light of the strong performance by both riders in their debut WSBK seasons, finding a new seat should not be difficult.
