EWC great Simeon calls time on professional riding career
Xavier Siméon, one of the fastest and most successful riders of the current FIM Endurance World Championship generation, has called time on his career as a professional rider. The Belgian, who partnered Gregg Black and Sylvain Guintoli to glory in April’s 24 Heures Motos at Le Mans having claimed the EWC title with the French duo in 2021 for Yoshimura SERT Motul, made his decision for personal reasons after a period of reflection and consideration over the summer. Ad Although the 33-year-old will no longer be chasing on-track success as a professional rider, he will devote himself to other activities, in particular coaching for the Belgian Motorcycle Academy (BMA) based at the Mettet circuit, and supporting young hopefuls, including Barry Baltus, his country’s Moto2 representative.
