Yamaha Announces US Lineup

Yamaha announced today their lineup for the 2009 season in the states. Ben Bostrom makes his return to Superbike racing and will team up with Josh Hayes. Josh Herrin will continue riding the R6 in the Supersport class joined by Rookie of the Year, Tommy Aquino.

To my knowledge, Yamaha is the only factory to have their US lineup officially announced. Hayes made some remarks about hoping Mladin remains in the states with Suzuki. Everything outside big blue appears to still be up in the air.
