Faulkner, huh... that explosive speed was the real deal. I've watched it firsthand plenty of times, talent fighting back-to-back with injury. He's exactly that. Being too fast wore his body down. The weight of a decision to retire immediately is something only someone who's raced can understand. All I can say is, well done. That was a magnificent run.

How much did he actually achieve while with the team, curious about the rankings these past few years.

An immediate retirement makes me feel there's something more behind the announcement.

He deserves credit for showing that much speed with the Triumph factory team.

Faulkner kept racing through that many injuries, impressive.
