Thought i would post this on here as its been under discussion on a view other sites and no ones posted here, guess some of you peeps will be interested ?

From AIM website:

"John McGuinness has decided after his disappointing efforts at Oulton Park, Mondello Park and Knockhill to quit BSB because he wasn't able to hook up with the machinery he won both races on at this year's TT, even after engine guru Steve Mellor gave him some 14bhp more power to enable him to compete with the best at BSB.

Team owner Alistair Flanagan went on to add "John is an outstanding Road Racer but is not hungry enough to compete at BSB level compared to how hungry he was for the Road Racing at the North West and TT this year. Things have moved on to another level from last years BSB. You must be super fit and willing to push for places and qualify at least in the top 12. John was only managing to qualify on the 4th or 5th row, and he knew that he wasn't giving the machinery and the team 100% and John informed Steve Mellor of this.

We are in talks to replace John and will be announcing the rider's replacement forthwith. We wish John every success at his Road Racing in the future" end of statement.

Apparently Chris Burns is now joining the team riding at Snetterton BSB as listed on the official BSB site.

Cheers,
