Kiyonari splits from Bennetts Suzuki ahead of Cadwell BSB

Struggling MCE British Superbike star Ryuichi Kiyonari has split from the Bennetts Suzuki team after a disappointing weekend at Brands Hatch.

Kiyo hasn’t gelled with the ageing GSX-R1000 this season but there was a ray of hope after his Suzuka Eight-Hours pace. However, not for the first time, it didn’t translate back to BSB.

“It’s disappointing that things haven’t worked out with Kiyo this season, but sometimes things just don’t quite click or come together as you’d both hoped. With nearly half the season remaining, we both agreed it was better for everyone involved to terminate our agreement early, and focus our efforts on a strong end to the season,” said team boss Martin Halsall.

“We’d like to thank Kiyo for his commitment. We will now take our time in finding a replacement rider, with our main focus on regrouping after a disappointing weekend at Brands Hatch where we lost out on a podium finish on the last lap. Our aim is still to get Tommy into the Showdown if we can.”
