Laverty and Melandri seek new teams with Yamaha to pull out of Superbike World Championship

Yamaha will pull out of the Superbike World Championship at the end of the 2011 season.

Riders Marco Melandri and Eugene Laverty — third and fourth respectively in the competition’s standings — will be looking for a new team after the Japanese manufacturer decided not to continue with their factory-backed outfit.

The news will also come as a blow to Welshman Chaz Davies, who leads the Supersport World Championship for Yamaha.
