WSB: Laconi set for retirement

Visordown's mole network springs up the news that Regis is seriously considering calling it a day

Posted: 26 June 2009
by Visordown News

INJURED FRENCHMAN Regis Laconi is seriously considering retiring from racing, following his massive crash earlier this year.

Visordown’s mole has been chatting with a couple of other moles French-side and hears that although his recovery from a broken neck in South Africa has been nothing short of miraculous, the ageing superbiker is apparently having a bit of a re-think about his career and is erring on the side of calling it a day.

We’d like to think that this one is right; Regis is a loveable racing nutter (in the most loving sense of the word) who is perfect material to see out his years as a TV pundit.

Go on Regis, let the rest of the world hear your crazy racing talk!

Good on him, he is also so fit so he would love to sit back and down a  few ales and a bag of chips I reckon.

 I have always been a Laconi fan so will be sad to see him go.
