The Australian won one European Championship in the 750cc category in 1975, and was runner-up in the World 500cc Championship in 1968, winning three career GPs and featuring on the podium in 25 races out of over 300 starts. The MotoGP community would like to thank Jack for all his efforts over the years, and offer him best wishes in his retirement.
IRTA have appointed New Zealander, Michael Webb, to take over Jack's role. Most recently, Mike worked as head mechanic for Carlos Checa and the Marlboro Yamaha Team in MotoGP, and before had worked as race engineer and crew chief with riders such as Norick Abe and Simon Crafar in a racing career spanning back to 1976.
