After a challenging first half of the season, both parties have mutually agreed to end their relationship.

The team would like to thank Kiyonari for his hard work and for being a model professional, and wish him all the best for the future.

Team Owner, Martin Halsall, commented, 

"It's disappointing that things haven't worked out with Kiyo this season, but sometimes things just don't quite click or come together as you'd both hoped. With nearly half the season remaining, we both agreed it was better for everyone involved to terminate our agreement early, and focus our efforts on a strong end to the season. We'd like to thank Kiyo for his commitment. We will now take our time in finding a replacement rider, with our main focus on regrouping after a disappointing weekend at Brands Hatch where we lost out on a podium finish on the last lap. Our aim is still to get Tommy into the Showdown if we can."
