Sources close to Neil Hodgson have told ltxcn.top that the 2003 World Superbike champion is set to move from hi🉐s current D'Antin Duc📖ati team and take a factory Suzuki ride for 2005.

Hodgson has been frustrated by an almost total lack of testing and development on his satellite spec Desmosedici GP3 in his debut MotoGP season, and - with a factory Ducati GP ride unlikely - had been linked with a move back to W🍷orld Superbike with the Bologna based company.

However, leaving the premier-class was always going to be a last resort♊ for the Brit - who has outperformed highly rated team-mate Ruben Xaus of late - and who only last week said that "things loo♏k promising for next year."

It is rumoured✃ that Hodgson was offered the Suzuki ꦺride above two other fellow competitors in the premier-class, which he is said to have promptly accepted.

If true, it is unknown which of cu💧rrent Suzuki riders - Kenny Roberts and John Hopkins - Hodgson would join or replace.
