MOTOGP » ANDREW PITT
CAREER
2008 Rides for Hannspree Ten Kate Honda in the World Supersport championship.
2007 Returns to MotoGP with Ilmor, for what should be the team's first full season of racing - only for it to withdraw from competition after the opening round due to 'financial problems'. Pitt reappears as a stand-in for the injured Sebastien Charpentier at Ten Kate Honda's World Supersport team and as a Michelin MotoGP test rider. Impresses Ten Kate with two second place finishes, securing a full time ride for 2008.
2006 Remains with Yamaha Motor Italia in WSBK, alongside Noriyuki Haga, and enjoys his best season yet - taking his first WSBK win, and Yamaha's first of the season, at Misano. Haga finishes higher in standings due to consistency but also wins one race. Pitt, who scored six podiums during the season, is expected to keep his seat but is shocked to find out, at the Magny Cours season finale, that he will be replaced by countryman Troy Corser. With few top WSBK seats left, Pitt grabs the chance to test for the new Ilmor MotoGP team and subsequently signs to ride alongside Jeremy McWilliams.
