Splitlath Redmond have this afternoon announced they are making a 'temporary withdrawal' from the MCE British Superbike Championship due to the ill-health of co-owner John Dimbylow.
The team were due to field Jakub Smrz and Mark Aitchison in this year series. Co-owner Derek Redmond has said that this withdrawal does not mean the end of the team.
"It is with great regret that Splitlath Redmond is announcing its temporary retirement from BSB. This is due to the ill health of John Dimbylow and both John and I would like to stress that this is a temporary measure," said Redmond.
“We would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere apologies to all of our loyal fans and supporters as well as our suppliers and most of all Piaggio UK, which has contributed greatly to the team’s efforts for this and over previous seasons.
“This is by no means the end of Splitlath Redmond, it is simply an unavoidable and necessary action which the team is being forced to take at this time and we look forward to returning to competitive racing very soon.”
