BSB: Hodgson set for sensational comeback
Source: British Superbikes 2009 - BSB Blog - Mirror.co.uk - Wednesday, 24th February 2010, 8:14 GMTFormer British and World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson will make his much anticipated return to the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship next season after signing for the Motorpoint Yamaha team. Hodgson returns to the UK after racing in the AMA Championship and securing the WSB crown in 2003. Hodgson last raced in BSB back in 2000 when he took the title for the GSE Racing team after a season-long battle with arch rival Chris Walker. The title fight went down to the wire at Donington Park for the final round of the championship following one of the most memorable seasons in BSB history. Hodgson said: ""I can't wait to move back to BSB and the UK; at the end of the day I have raced on the world stage and in the States and now I want to come back to where it all started and there is definitely a good feeling on coming home. "It certainly wasn't a difficult decision for me to come back to BSB next season, especially with Yamaha as that has been the bike to win on this year. "It has been successful in BSB with Leon (Camier) and James (Ellison) and also in AMA with Ben (Bostrom) and Josh (Hayes), then that doesn't include on the world stage with Ben (Spies) and Cal (Crutchlow). "I am really excited about returning to BSB and it has been a dream to come back next season. "As a rider you never know which way your career is going to go; for sure when you are on the world stage you want to be there as long as you can, but in America I have been through some tough seasons, especially with the injury last year and now I am ready to come home. "It is a personal choice for me to return to BSB and I am as motivated now as I was ten years ago when I won the title, if not more." Read article
Honorary Doctorate for Toseland
Source: Insidebikes | Carole Nash - Thursday, 26th November 2009, 10:19 GMTJames Toseland is undoubtedly one of the biggest champions of Motorsport of our time and he’s used to crowds of people cheering him for yet another victory. This week, however, Toseland was met with a rather different reception, a reception of clapping people wearing cloaks and funny hats. No, he’s not an extra for the next Harry Potter film; he received an honorary doctorate from Sheffield Hallam University. Taking pride of place on a very different podium, Toseland spoke to graduates about his success, starting out as a Yorkshire lad and zooming to the heights of motorcycling success. Toseland went from being a Doncaster-born boy who learnt to ride a boke on the coal spoil pits close to his home to being the youngest ever World Superbike Champion in 2004 aged just 23. Next year he’ll form part of the factory Yamaha team after two years in MotoGP. The world champion addressed his audience and said: “To be here and recognised by the city and Sheffield Hallam is possibly the most humbling thing I’ve ever received. “It’s a great honour and the icing on the cake for me after winning two championships and hopefully another next year.” Toseland joins poet Simon Armitage and Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker as esteemed citizens who received Honorary Doctorates at Sheffield Hallam University this year.
