"It's not 100% - but its 99.9% sure that Yukio will be here with us again," Corser told Crash.net. "It's my choice, it's the team's choice and I think it's Suzuki's choice as well to keep him here for another year.

"I'd be very happy because we work so well together on the bike and off track as well, so it'd be nice to have another season together," added the Australian.

Corser won seven races on the way to his second WSBK title, while Kagayama took one victory on his way to fifth position in his first full World Superbike season.
