Australian Jason O’Halloran has parted company with the Oxford TAG Triumph team, the British manufacturer’s factory effort in the 2010 British Supersport Championship.

Having held lengthy discussions with his management and family, the former Australian Supersport Champion has taken this decision to give him the best possible chance of getting his season back on track after a frustrating season to date.

“Leaving a team is always difficult but the decision had to be made as I just felt my season wasn’t going in the direction I was hoping for with TAG Triumph,” O’Halloran commented.

Despite a good opening round fourth place finish at Brands Hatch, the team have struggled to find a balance and set up to give O’Halloran the confidence required to run at the front in a very competitive field.

After sustaining injuries earlier in the season, O’Halloran has worked hard over recent weeks to ensure his full fitness, focusing on a return to Mallory Park and to achieve a good result. However, Jason suffered a mechanical failure midway through the race and was forced to retire, bringing to an end what had been a disappointing and frustrating weekend.

It’s expected that further details on O’Halloran’s future plans will be announced shortly.
