Ik maak maar vast een nieuw beginnetje met het persbericht dat John Reynolds met pensioen gaat. Niets dan respect voor deze beslissing. 't Is eigenlijk vergelijkbaar met wat Jamie Whitham overkwam.

John Reynolds announces retirement from racing

JOHN REYNOLDS has announced his retirement from top level motorcycle racing after a long and highly successful career that included three British Superbike Championship titles and highly competitive seasons in World Superbike and Grand Prix racing.

The 40-year-old Rizla Suzuki star made the decision after a serious accident at the final round of the British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch during practice on Friday, October 7th. He crashed heavily, breaking four ribs on his right side, puncturing his right lung and breaking his left collarbone in the accident. He also suffered injuries to his neck and back which may require corrective surgery. No complications are expected and a full recovery is expected.

“When I hit the barrier it was like a switch in my head flipped,” explained JR, who came back to racing against the odds from a severely broken leg in February. “Instantly I knew it was time to stop. I had received a warning with my broken leg earlier in the year. I see this as a final warning and I’ve made the decision to stop racing, more for my wife Shelley’s sanity and for the good of my family than for me.”

JR, from Nottingham, has been racing since he was eight years old and has competed at the very highest level in Grand Prix, World Superbikes and British Superbikes. A triple British Superbike Champion, JR was the reigning title-holder and sporting the number one plate when he suffered his crash.

With more than 200 British Superbike race starts and 50 victories to his credit, JR is a living motorcycle legend. He started his career in Schoolboy motocross before moving on to short circuit racing in 1987 and sampling road racing at the Isle of Man TT. In 1990 he won the British Supersport Championship and then in 1992 his first British Superbike Championship – adding titles two and three in 2001 and 2004 respectively. In between his national titles he raced in Grand Prix and World Superbike Championships, including a full season as a factory WSB Suzuki rider in 1996.

“I am satisfied and relaxed about my decision to retire,” said JR. “I’m in a lot of pain right now, but my spirits are very positive and I’m comfortable that there’s an exciting new life for me ahead. Strangely enough, what makes it easier for me to accept is the fact that I had agreed terms with Rizla Suzuki team owner Paul Denning only four days earlier to race for the team next season.

“The fact that Paul, the whole team and the guys at Suzuki had the confidence to ask me to ride in 2006 is a massive compliment and a real honour. I am leaving the sport knowing that Rizla Suzuki thought I was good enough to win the Championship again - thanks to them for that belief, it means a lot to me. I am stopping for the right reasons right now, knowing that I had an opportunity with a great team on a fantastic bike.”

JR will be transferred from Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford to the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham this week and continues to make good progress. A committed family man, he is looking forward to returning to his home town where he can be near his wife Shelley and eight-year-old son Ben as he recovers from his injuries.

Paul Denning said: “John Reynolds is a personal friend, one of the world’s best motorcycle racers and a truly exceptional person. We have spoken in detail and he has made his decision to retire for all the right reasons and with his family in mind. We support him whole-heartedly and will be with him every step of the way during his recovery.

“Despite his early season injuries this year, JR is leaving competitive racing at the very top of his game. His performances over the last few rounds showed us clearly that with a winter’s worth of testing and training under his belt, he was ready to win again. John’s competitive spirit was as inspiring as ever!

“The team is sure that JR could have challenged for the Championship again in 2006 and while it is a great pity he will now not be riding next year, he will be joining Rizla Suzuki to put his experience and raw passion for the sport to the best possible use. It’s been a pleasure working with JR as a rider and as a friend. Already the whole team, as well as Suzuki GB and Rizla, are looking forward to working with him in 2006.”

JR said: “Thanks to my family, my sponsors and all the many people who gave me opportunities and support over the years – you all know who you are. Also, racing fans are quite simply the best sports fans in the world and have given me more inspiration and strength than they can ever know. I have achieved a lot and enjoyed my career, it has been a brilliant ride and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I can’t wait to get fit and start work again – I want to thank the team Suzuki and Rizla for giving me so much positive encouragement about the future.”

ja toch jammer maar wel logisch inderdaad.

Groot respect voor hem

GSE blijft trouwens 100% zeker in engeland, in ieder geval met Leon Haslam.

En is er al iets bekend over Hawk? Had laatst ergens gelezen dat ze WSBK wilden gaan doen?

Had dat ook gelezen, maar daarna niets meer van vernomen. Maar nog tijd genoeg in principe.

Tsja, jammer dat JR stopt, maar het was te verwachten natuurlijk...

Het GSE Ducati team heeft vandaag bekend gemaakt dat Lavilla volgend jaar zijn titel gaat verdedigen, ook 'PocketRocket' Leon Haslam blijft:
Citaat:
“I have decided to stay with the team for one more year in British Superbikes because, having spoken lots to Darrell and Colin, I believe that we can do good things together. This year the atmosphere within the team has been very good and that is very important to me and I know that if I stay with the team we can achieve even more. Next season’s Championship will be good and I want to try to raise the level of it and of course try to win the Championship again.”

The Spaniard added his thoughts on next season, “I expect there will be a lot of competition and some tough races but I will be ready for that, the team will be ready for that and the bike will be ready too.”

Team Principle Darrell Healey “We are absolutely delighted Greg has decided to stay with us for next year, we appreciate that he is very hot property and I’m sure his decision was not an easy one to make. It’s been our best season ever! After having a year out in 2004 no one could have predicted we would win the championship on our return. We are very proud of our team and the effort they all make”.


Het team blijft ook al haar sponsoren etc behouden en krijgt van Ducati echte 999 F06 machines ter beschikking!

Rutter wordt bij HM Plant Honda vervangen door Karl Harris die weer terug keert bij het team waarvoor hij in 2004 het Supersport k'schap binnenhaalde. Kiyonari blijft ook in 2006.

Dit nieuws werd vrijdag officieel bekend gemaakt:
Citaat:
Ryuichi Kiyonari: “I am of course happy to ride for HM Plant Honda Racing once again. I enjoy competing in the British Superbike Championship on the factory Fireblade. Next season I hope that I can continue to improve as a rider so that I can win more races and possibly the championship.”

Karl Harris: “There isn’t a rider in the British Superbike Championship paddock who would have turned down this opportunity. Riding the HRC-backed CBR1000RR Fireblade is the pinnacle of my career so far and I am determined to succeed. I’m also looking forward to returning to HM Plant Honda Racing colours and would like to thank them for their continued support.”

Er wordt gefluisterd dat Rutter naar Stobart Honda gaat, dat weer met 2 ipv 3 rijders aan de slag wil gaan. Paul Bird, de teameigenaar, had toegeven dat dat iets teveel van het goede was. Shane Byrne wordt daar ook genoemd als rijder, maar niets 'offi' at the moment.

It has been confirmed that the Red Bull Honda youth development programme - created to encourage and support future champions - will continue in 2006, with current riders Jonathan Rea and Eugene Laverty retained for another season in BSB and BSS respectively.

18-year-old Rea proved to be a surprise package in 2005 after becoming the youngest ever rider to secure a BSB pole position - and also started two other races from the front row. The Ulsterman enjoyed five top ten finishes and a further eight points-scoring positions.

"I'm feeling really good about staying with Red Bull Honda for another year," said Rea. "I'm sure that big things will come out of the relationship. The package that I have been offered for 2006 is fantastic, so I'm trying really hard to make sure that I'm in good shape to do the team justice."

19-year-old team-mate claimed one pole position and a further three front row starts in his debut BSS season. He also enjoyed one podium finish, another top five placing and six other top ten positions. Laverty finished ninth overall in the championship and at times proved to have the upper hand on several more experienced adversaries.

"It's great to have the support of Red Bull Honda again," said Laverty. "This year has been about learning for me, so I've used it to improve my riding, learn the circuits properly and get used to the bike. This means that I'll be more experienced next season, so hopefully I can be a definite contender for the top three. Next year's CBR600RR is slightly different to the one I raced this year and I can't wait to test it over the winter."

"I think that the success of Red Bull Honda in the 2005 Superbike and Supersport classes was a surprise to many people," declared Havier Beltran, Team Manager of Red Bull Honda. "But that is testament to all of the people involved in the team. It's great to be encouraging young talent in the sport and helping the future growth of the championship."

"Both Jonathan and Eugene have done themselves and the Red Bull Honda team proud this season and they deserve the opportunity to progress further," stated Red Bull's Motorsport Manager, Linda Pelham.


Het 125 programma van RedBull Honda wordt wel stopgezet...

James Haydon has been confirmed aboard a Rizla Suzuki GSX-R1000 for next year's British Superbike Championship, following a strong end to the 2005 campaign.

Haydon only joined the team mid-way through the season, but played a key role in developing the GSX-R1000 race bike. He will now be able to put that experience to good use, firstly during an extensive winter test programme, and then during a complete season in 2006.

"I am thrilled and excited to be staying with Rizla Suzuki," Haydon, who has been bounced from team to team in recent years, admitted, "To know that I will be racing on the best bike with the support of the best team behind me is a dream come true. I'm over the moon to be honest. Thank you to Rizla and Suzuki for their faith in me - I can't wait to get racing again and repaying that loyalty with the podium finishes the team deserves.

"Staying with the team gives us continuity, and we will be aiming to capitalise on the good work and strong end-of-season results from 2005. We finished this year in good shape and now we can build on that confidence and competitiveness through the winter.

Haydon scored his best result of the 2005 season at the final round of the championship at Brands Hatch, taking pole position and a third place podium finish.

"It is great news that we are able to keep James on the Rizla Suzuki," team manager Robert Wicks agreed, "James is a determined, talented racer and the excitement and passion he brings to the team is infectious. We're hoping he will be to realise his full potential next year and will be giving him our full support to do so.

"He knows the bike intimately and that will greatly assist our winter testing programme and allow us to start the 2006 season in the best possible condition, ready to challenge from the off."

An announcement regarding the team's second rider will be made soon.

dAt is nog te hoog voor hem denk ik, al hoewel hij wel goede races reed in 2003 als vervanger van Kato.
