Bryan Staring: “I love riding and racing motorcycles. I have since I was a kid racing motocross, when I made the switch to road racing and every time I get on a bike but there comes a time when you need to reassess your situation. I have an amazing wife and young son, a great job that I enjoy, and have had an amazing career racing motorcycles that has seen me travel the world, line up against some of the best there’s ever been and take some wins along the way, but this will be my last full-time season. I want to thank all those teams, managers and crew chiefs that have given me opportunities over the years, some of them here with me now, along with the manufacturers and brands that have trusted me to represent them. I’m far from done riding motorbikes, I love it too much, but it’s time to step aside and move on to the next stage in my life with my family.”

Staring will of course complete the 2024 ASBK season aboard the MotoGo Yamaha YZF-R1M before returning to his home near Perth, Western Australia, but rest assured, it won’t be the last time we see him on-track…
