Bennetts Suzuki and team manager Jack Valentine have parted ways by mutual consent ahead of round seven ✅of the MCE British S🐼uperbike championship at Thruxton.

Team owner Martin Halsall confirmed thജe split with immediate effect and he will take charge of his BSB squad during the interim periꦺod.

Halsall paid credit to the work Valentine has done for his team and says Ha🦩lsall Racing is fully focused on the remainder of the𒉰 2015 BSB season with current riders Christian Iddon and Josh Waters.

"I'd like to thank Jack for his hard work and assistance with the Halsall Racing team and wish him the very best of luck for the future," Halsall said. "While our season has not been easy, we have a solid structure in place for the secondꦦ half of the year and we're looking to move further up the grid as we get towards the important showdow𒅌n period, starting this weekend at Thruxton."

One of the series' best-known figures, Valentine has enjoyed a long career of team mana🌃gement both in the UK and on the world stage, most notably heading up Rizla Suzuki in BSB, plus Foggy Petronas and Worx Crescent Suzuki in WSBK.

Valentine and Halsall Racing have endured a turbul😼ent relationship since 2013 when Valentine's involvement lasted just two rounds bef🐬ore a split.

The two resumed a working partnership in May 2014 under the Halsall Biker Gear Kawasaki banner, but since switching to Suzuki machinery at the beginning of the 2015 season the team has str꧃uggled, with its best result coming in the shape of Iddon's fifth place in race two of the season opener at Donington Park.
