Tom Sykes looks set to leave WorldSBK after spending the last 13 years 🐻of his career in the c🦋hampionship. 

The former 2013 world champion competed in his final r🧔aces of the season during last weekend’s season finale in Mandalika, which was also his first weekend back since suffering༒ a concussion in Catalunya. 

Sykes claimedꦺ tenth in the opening race before going on to take P5 🏅the afternoon’s wet race two.

But despite that, a move away from WorldSBK looks fairly inevitable for the 36 year-old who has confirmed that heading back to BSB or a🎃 move to MotoAmerica will be considered. 

"There’s no confirmation yet. Still looking at the moment. In an ideal world I would have continued in the world championship as I’ve 🧔been here for 13 years and I have the level 🎶to continue," said Sykes. 

"But as one door closes another one opens and there are other things going on in the world, so I’ll look a little bit further afield yet. I would consider them (BSB🌊 and AMA) because my passion is racing motorcycles."

While rumours of Sykes remaining🍰 in WorldSBK🐎 for 2022 floated around the paddock during last weekend’s Mandalika round, it’s unlikely to happen as Sykes would have to take a non factory ride, something he’s never done since being in the series.

As for BSB, Sykes spent two full-time years in the championship🍃 which would mea𓆏n a return to a series he knows, and also different types of tracks.

"In those championships (BSB and AMA) you mentioned the tracks are a bit more narrow etc, etc, but even when I was woওrld champion and working with my crew chief at the time in Marcel [Duinker]; I was racing at Laguna Seca and said to Marcel I would love to race here (A🅷MA) one day. So that’s a big interest," added Sykes. 

"I know BSB. I’ve bee🎶n there and I know that they run a very well organised championship, a very competitive one🌠 as well, so if I go there I’ll have a target on my back which might be a bit of fun as well. 

"So, for sure I would consider it because this 🌞year I turned 36 year-old but I feel 25. I’m enjoying my racing."
