WSBK » Leon Haslam to leave Stiggy

If nothing else this season should put him in a very good postion for a top works ride.

Well, according to today's MCN he has signed to race for Alstare Suzuki for next year.

Word is he's already signed for Suzuki.....

Real shame the Stiggy team have struggled financially as its a good team and I think Leon would have stayed with them if they could have come up with something solid for next year....I hope he gets paid the money they owe him!

Who will ride the second Siggy next year? Sykes? A japanese rider? Rumors said Camier should go to Aprilia.

Where have all you Haslam bashers gone from the end of his last BSB season ?

Silence !

Fair play Drew,
I'd never class myself as a Haslam basher but I did not expect him to do so well this year and I said as much. His BSB record has been questionable but he always came on strong at the end.
This year with an underfunded team he has arguably been the best most consistent Brit in the series and was quick from the beginning.
I hope he gets a good ride next year, Suzuki need a good rider to bring that bike back to the front.

I have never been a fan of his and could never understand why he had top rides without winning anything, this year he has been class on the bike he's had and fully deserves the factory suzuki ride he's got for next year.

That's good news he's done well this year, was the best honda by far for the best part of the season before the Dutch got there act together. Looking really good for next year from a Brit's point of view.
Factory rides for Brits on Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and possibly Aprilla

An impressive year for Leon, on an under-developed bike, in an under-funded team. He has shown great maturity and has achieved some good results, even when qualifying poorly.
WSB in 2010 will be a cracker. With the amount of Brits we have on good, competitive machinery, we must surely be looking at one of them being champion.
Roll on 2010!

Suzuki, Suzuki, Suzuki!!! I hope Max N will recover soon so Suzuki will finally have stable and competitive squad capable of fighting for the title!
