JACQUE TO RACE AND TEST FOR KAWASAKI
12 June 2005 - DORNA COMMUNICATIONS

French rider Olivier Jacque will race for the factory Kawasaki Racing Team in the German and Valencia Grand Prix events in the 2005 MotoGP World Championship.

In addition to these two wild card appearances, Jacque has been signed as Kawasaki''s test and development rider and is scheduled to complete 12 test days aboard the Ninja ZX-RR. Jacque''s test role will include working with Kawasaki engineers on the development programme for the prototype 2006 model ZX-RR, and with Bridgestone technicians on tyre testing.

For the German and Valencia races Jacque will race a third Ninja ZX-RR machine alongside regular factory riders, Shinya Nakano and Alex Hofmann.

''It is a very satisfying moment in my career to sign this new contract with Kawasaki, I have not had a full-time job in MotoGP for 18 months,'' Jacque said.

''I''m very motivated for the race and test programme Kawasaki have given me, I like both the German and Valencia circuits, and I think the ZX-RR has a very high potential. It is an honour to be the rider who will begin the testing of the 2006 prototype Kawasaki MotoGP machine.
