He could'nt do any worse than McWilliams!;):lol::lol:

I can't help feeling a bit sorry for the guy, he got a bum deal with FPR, - a year of doing nothing and then a poor bike compared to Corser (and his was not great). It looked like a good ride for him this year and now nothing. Remember this guy ran with the best of the BSB boys, anybody remember the Brands race he overtook John Reynolds (both ON THE same team, - Red Bull Ducati's)? Wonderful to say stuff it to team orders as he was leaving them at the end of the season. Best not tell a racer he is fired if you want him to follow team orders.

Met little James H a few years ago, - quite shy and unsure of himself but not daft, - perhaps too nice off of the bike which is why he lost his ride. Wish they could of taken the team up to a 3 man team.

If I had the money I would put him in my team, - but I would also put in Ruben Xaus. I believe that guys with this much enthusiasm have the potential to win championships, - one day they will stop crashing, they are both already damn fast. Haydons best ride? Thruxton a few years ago, 5 way dice for the lead with Hizzy etc.

ozz, - press releases were sent out from Airwaves, as above, - we got ours 9.08am today.

I was at Crescent Suzuki today and heard that James had been in touch with Paul Denning for a ride which he couldn't help with - suggested Kawasaki GP apparently. As Ian said the guy is hugely talented - but unlucky :(

Met James at Brands this year ,He's always got time for chat and great with his fans.Excellent rider - especailly on the Yamaha R1.
better luck soon!!

and he has a great helmet design, if you pardon the expression. Looks like there could be a Stobart Honda up for grabs, or even a Rizla Suzuki?

Ian,

Pretty handy with the crystal Ball. Haydon is aboard the Rizla Gixer 1000 for at least the next two BSB rounds to allow JR to get his leg sorted out properly.

Ray.

Guess if you had a Gixxer thou K5 you could be on for some trick, slightly scuffed spares in the next few weeks courtesy of Cresent :D






Bit harsh I know, sorry JH

Proven bike with a proven "nutter" on board with a point to prove.


Dynamite:o:o:o

I can't wait.

Ray

will JR call it quits now?

also in MCN that Ducati want twins to be 1100cc - anyone fancy a 1098:D

Apparently McWilliams has quit after falling out with old Birdy so they are in talks with JH to replace after his Rizla stint.

Rumours are that he received his full yrs salary plus prize money that could have been won in exchange for a gagging (no jokes!) contract.

Like John said, no choice but not a bad business deal for JH after all:D
