DiSalvo's last year racing for Yamaha in the US?

Jason DiSalvo told a Talladega, Alabama newspaper web site that the sale of AMA Pro Racing to Daytona Motorsports Group may mean a lot of American riders will leave for Europe.

"The American Motorcycle Association series was just sold to Daytona, and nobody knows what that will mean yet. It could be better or it could be worse. But I think you're going to see a lot of Americans flocking to Europe for a while. I want to go, but I don't want to go for less than a world championship," Yamaha factory Superbike racer DiSalvo said.

DiSalvo is in the final months of his current Yamaha contract.

He says that he is currently checking his options for 2009 and may race in Europe.
