Shane Byrne returns to Superbike Championship
Shane Byrne will be making a return to the British Superbike Championship next year with the Rizla Suzuki team.
The 28-year-old former champion has made the move after enduring two
frustrating campaigns in MotoGP, this season in which he came 24th with
six points.
"I'm all done with not winning and having no fun racing," Shane Byrne said.
"I want to be at the front again, something that's not happened much in
the last two years for me in MotoGP. I had options and I chose Rizla
Suzuki."
Shane Byrne, from London, who had other offers from World Superbikes,
MotoGP and British Superbikes, will partner James Haydon in 2006 and
after struggling for the last two years on the uncompetitive Aprilia
and Proton KR machines, Shane Byrne is confident he has found the right
team to reverse his fortunes.
"When considering my options, what was most important to me was to know
which team could provide the best possible package to win races," Shane
Byrne said.
"Rizla Suzuki came out head and shoulders above the rest in any
championship. I want to win and have fun next year and this is the
perfect team for me.
"I'm delighted to be a Rizla Suzuki rider. British Superbikes is going
to be interesting next year, the series is really competitive and I'm
coming back with the best team to get my championship back."
