So he’s officially left McAMS but who’s replacing him and where is he going?

Well, as previous BSB champ he does have some pulling power. And his dad certainly does have a few contacts.

Surprised there hasn’t been anything mentioned, I did hear WSS but nothing for definite.

I've lost track of what seats are available in the various world series. I hope he gets something decent to give him a fair crack.

It seems a bit late in the year to leave the team,especially considering his succes there.
He's leaving one of the best teams in the paddock.I wonder what he's got lined up in WSBK? Good luck to him wherever he ends up.
Who do we think will get the Mcams ride? Most of the main protagonists have announced who they'll be riding for next year & that's got to be one of the best teams in BSB. '

Like I said in the Brad Ray post possibly WSS on a Honda, not out of the question him getting a super bike ride yet.

Cal Crutchlow did OK in WSS

Tim Neave announced as replacement for Taz at McAms Yamaha

Didnt see that one coming if i am honest but good luck to him at his first proper crack on a Superbike

Just seen that Harry Trulove has signed for Dynavolt Triumph is WSS which is Simon Buckmasters outfit so that’s another possible seat Taz might have gone into gone as Buckmaster, ni matter what you think of the bloke, normally fits in a Brit rider as one of his team

Finally confirmed.

That's a bit of an unknown. Where there any Hondas in WSS last year,or even the last few years?

Honda stopped making the road going CBR600RR but there is a race only version still being turned out to feed the production racing classes. I can’t remember any Hondas since 2020 in WSS and even then I think it was only one team.

Strange choice of ride for Taz but gets him back on the world scene again

It's a slightly strange one... Where did the highest placed Honda finish ?

21st


In 2020

wow... you'd assume he knows WTF he's doing... but that.. is a little on the strange side ?

His new team mate hasn't done much in Moto3 or Moto2. On the surface there's nothing to suggest they'll do well. No data for the CBR and maybe no other Honda teams either,so they'll be on the back foot pretty much all season.

I'd love to hear the reasons for leaving a winning team for this.

He has been quite clear on wanting onto the world scene, just like Brad Ray but as unknown quantities outside of the BSB paddock the ride options are limited. Sykes was able to get on a known seat as a known quantity but Ray took a ride that’s not a full season and Taz dropped to Supersport to try and get noticed

Niall McKenzie is a wise man. There'll be some logic in this





Did I ever mention I beat NM once ?

New rules trying to bring all marques in line could mean it’ll be right up there in the right hands.

I remember there was a lot of gossip & rumours before last years TT regarding some all new Honda 600 SS missile.
I think Lougher got hold of one through his Japanese contacts.
Good luck to Taz!
