Shinya Nakano Announces Retirement...

Current World Superbike Championship racer Shinya Nakano has announced that he will retire effective immediately. It's a sad day for race fans. He contested last year's world championship with the Aprilia factory team on a brand new RSV-4 in the premier class. He has also been racing for 13 years, 11 of which were in a world championship series including his stint in MotoGP. The statement he released said that he will remain in the motorcycle industry at some level and I hope he does very well! I will miss him...
