John Reynolds will be back on his Rizla Suzuki on Tuesday, the 24th of May, for a test session at Croft circuit - in readiness for his return to racing the following Bank Holiday weekend.

James Haydon will not be part of the team and, for all his efforts, it doesn’t look like Rizla will be keeping him on as a standby. It was planned that James was to test at Croft alongside John, but those plans have been put on hold, and Scott Smart will be alongside John.

Rizla team manager stated, “Thank you to James for riding for Rizla Suzuki for the last two race meetings. He is the consummate professional, and his results prove beyond any doubt his ability - and we wish him well for the future. He has more than impressed Rizla Suzuki, and the team would certainly welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

It was a surprise, to say the least, that after such a great effort and gaining some very credible points after a long lay-off, that James is again left without a ride. It was thought that Rizla might provide another machine so James could stay with the team, but from the statement above it doesn’t appear as though that is going to happen.

It is a total waste of talent, in my opinion, and surely someone will take on James in the very foreseeable future...
