Hudon lifting his GSX-R Cup trophyJAMES HAYDON has been axed from the Virgin Yamaha British Superbike squad.
He is being replaced by Hudson Kennaugh who left the Raceways Superstock team to fill-in for Haydon but we're now told this will be a full-time role for the South African, who to compete the rest of the season the the Virgin R1.
Haydon was previously sidelined for 'a couple of races' due to a mountain bike accident which damaged his shoulder and flared up a previous injury.
Kennaugh previously tested for Rizla Suzuki at Donington in 2005, he won the European GSX-R Cup and was lying second in the Superstock championship.
