Australia's Josh Waters will be back on the WSBK grid at Portimao next month.

The iconic Yoshimura brand will be back in the Superbike World Championship mix before the end of the 2011 season, as the Japanese tuning house has confirmed it will field Josh Waters in the final round of the championship at Portimao in mid-October.

Waters and Yoshimura have graced the WSBK stage this year already on two occasions, in Waters’ native Australia at Phillip Island and at Miller Motorsports Park in America.

The Yoshimura team always adds extra spice to any proceedings and they will be more than welcome to join the end of season action at one of the most interesting and challenging circuits on the calendar.

With the round clashing with the non-championship Australian Superbike support races at Phillip’s Island’s MotoGP round, Waters and Team Suzuki have opted to allow him contest the WSBK round in Portugal.

Waters raced to a podium result with the Yoshimura team in the Suzuka 8 Hours in Japan alongside Yukio Kagayama and Nobu Aoki earlier this year.
