Ben Townley vient d’annoncer qu’il mettait un terme d\u00e9finitif \u00e0\u00a0 sa carri\u00e8re de pilote. Une d\u00e9cision \u00e9videmment difficile \u00e0\u00a0 prendre pour le N\u00e9o-Z\u00e9landais apr\u00e8s 22 ann\u00e9es de comp\u00e9tition ponctu\u00e9es de nombreux succ\u00e8s. De nombreuses blessure \u00e9galement, surtout ces 5 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Si je regarde en arri\u00e8re, je me rends compte que je n’ai pas pu disputer une saison compl\u00e8te depuis 5 ans, explique Townley. \u00ab\u00a0Je crois qu’il est temps aujourd’hui pour moi de tourner la page. La d\u00e9cision n’est pas facile mais je suis aujourd’hui mari\u00e9 et p\u00e8re de 2 jeunes splendides gar\u00e7ons. Cela facilite les choses, m\u00eame si j’ai pass\u00e9 22 ann\u00e9es de ma vie sur une moto en y prenant toujours beaucoup de plaisir. Mais la famille a d\u00e9sormais pris le dessus sur la moto! Cependant, je ne compte pas quitter le monde de la moto pour autant. Je n’ai que 28 ans et je suis certain que je peux encore apporter pas mal de choses au motocross.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Un titre en Europe, un autre aux USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avant de conna\u00eetre la p\u00e9riode difficile qui le pousse aujourd’hui \u00e0\u00a0 raccrocher, Ben Townley avait marqu\u00e9 le motocross mondial de son empreinte au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 2000. Apparu sur le championnat MX2 d\u00e8s 2001, il devenait champion du monde dans la cat\u00e9gorie 3 ans plus tard. En 2005, il passait dans la cat\u00e9gorie reine avec un certain succ\u00e8s puisqu’il pla\u00e7ait sa KTM \u00e0\u00a0 la 3\u00e8me place du championnat derri\u00e8re Stefan Everts et son compatriote Josh Coppins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Avec le soutien de Pro Circuit, il s’envolait ensuite pour les USA o\u00f9 il remportait d\u00e8s la premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e le titre SX Lite sur la c\u00f4te Est avant de coiffer le titre de vice-champion en Outdoor la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e. Les saisons qui suivirent furent marqu\u00e9es – d\u00e9j\u00e0\u00a0– par des blessures \u00e0\u00a0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition. Esp\u00e9rant relancer sa carri\u00e8re, Townley revenait en 2011 sur le vieux continent. Annonc\u00e9 parmi les favoris de la classe MX1, le N\u00e9o-Z\u00e9landais ne sera pourtant jamais dans le coup et d\u00e9cidait de rentrer en Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande avant la mi-saison.<\/p>\n

Depuis, il roulait pour le team Honda Calton Dry dans le championnat n\u00e9o-z\u00e9landais, un team avec lequel il compte continuer \u00e0\u00a0 travailler dans les prochains mois.<\/p>\n
