Peter Hickman has parted 𒅌company with Hawk Colchester Kawasaki in the British Superbike Championship in a move꧂ that sees the return of James Haydon to the BSB fold.

Series sophomore Hickman - who first rode for Hawk back in 2003 - has endured a disappointing start to the 2007 campaign, with three twelfth🐭-place finishes his best results on the ZX10-R while team-mate Scott Smart l👍ies some five spots and 37 points higher in the title standings. In light of this, a "mutual and amicable decision" has been taken for team and rider to go their separate ways.

"Peter has had a long relationship wiꦐth Hawk Kawasaki," commented team owner Stuart Hicken, "and we wish him the very best in the future."

Alex Camier - younger brother of Bike Animal Honda star Leon - will replace Hickman in the short term♑ at Croft this weekend after riding Hawk's Supersport bike at the two previous meetings. David H🌜allett will take over Camier's seat after stepping up from the Superstock Cup.

Following a suc💟cessful test at Mallory Park last week, meanwhile, Haydon will make his Hawk Kawasaki BSB debut at Cadwell Park a fortnight later. The eleven-time BSB race-winner himself split from Virgin Med☂ia Optoma Loans Yamaha earlier this year, and will remain alongside Smart at Hawk for the remainder of the current campaign.
