It was rumoured a while ago that Leon would not be on the factory Honda after the end of the 2020 season. Still not sure why Honda withdrew their support for Ron and his race school. Andy
I’m not sure that is a good fit, Haslam is a good rider and racer and the Fireblade is still being developed, something else Haslam is good at. Chaz’s erratic form seems to have come with the introduction of the V4 Ducati, maybe Chaz finds a multi harder to ride? Lots of good racers have found a loss of form when changing from a twin to a multi or vice versa.
No wonder he's been struggling if he's been racing on a Multistrada. Perhaps he should have a Panigale like the others
Chaz is an incredible rider and a nice chap too. He never got the breaks, not sure why. I remember his performance as a wild card in the USA on a bike that was frankly a shed.
