Today is the first chance to reflect on our seasons racing and to take in what we have achieved together this year. 

I want to thank everybody in the team for such a wonderful job, we have an awful lot to be proud of:- 

Manufacturers Champions 
KGN Pillinger Teams Trophy Winners 
Won 50% of all 2016 BSB races 
27 Podiums 
4th fastest all-time lap of the Isle of Man TT Course 
First team ever to have three riders win races in one BSB season 
First team to ever have three riders on BSB podium in one BSB season 
Peter Hickman - 2nd North West 200 Superstock 
Peter Hickman - Darley Stars Winner 
Peter Hickman - 7th and Riders Cup Winner 
James Ellison - 3rd BSB Championship 
Leon Haslam - 2nd BSB Championship 

It is with a heavy heart, but for some fundamental reasons that I draw a line under not only this season, but cease the racing activities of GBmoto too. 

Fear not, for I am confident that all of our people will all go on to shine in all number of other places and different ways; because others want and need their talent, drive and determination. 

I want to thank all of our sponsors, suppliers and fans for what they have done to encourage and support us along the way. It has truly been a wonderful journey, one that is summed up so well in this picture; for me our finest moment in racing. 

We may not of won the championship - but we were the best team.
