MAXTRA 125GP TEAM CONFIRMS NAME CHANGE TO HAOJUE

Matthew Hoyle's 125GP team has confirmed it will run under the Haojue banner for the 2009 MotoGP season following some legal wrangles with the Maxtra moniker.

The team, which is backed by China's largest bike manufacturer the Jiangmen Dachangjiang Group, has retained all of it's staff but engine man Jan Witteven is now just responsible for developing new parts for the upside down engine.

"The issue with the name change made it necessary for us to close the Team Maxtra website, but we now have a basic Team Haojue site at www.haojue-racing.com," explained Team Haojue director Garry Taylor.

"The on-going development programme is continuing as planned, with Jan Witteveen testing and developing a variety of new engine components and Harris Performance progressing with chassis and bodywork refinements.

"As we said right from the launch in China last year, we don't expect to be on podium pace in year one, but Haojue is one hundred percent behind the project and we are determined to make progress and aim to challenge for podium finishes in 2010," he added.

Team Haojue will make its public debut at the IRTA test in Jerez at the end of March.
