Corser still has part to play in WSB title race
Troy Corser will still play an important role in BMW’s World Superbike title hopes next season, despite hanging up his leathers.
Corser announced his retirement from the sport at the end of the season, ending a career that had seen 377 WSB starts, 33 wins and two world titles, to become an ambassador for BMW Motorrad.
In his new role, Corser will have a hand in developing the bike on which Leon Haslam and Marco Melandri will fight for the WSB title in 2012 and the Aussie has insisted that he will still be showing his face around the WSB paddock.
“I have been racing for a long time and the day had to come, and although it is a sad day for a lot of people it had to come at some stage,” said Corser. “I think it is time to do it right now.
“For me it is an honour to stay involved with BMW as an ambassador, and there are lots of different areas where I will still be involved with the development, PR and so on. So I am not disappearing, I will still be around at the tracks.”
