The story of Team JR, owned by Joselyn Robinson and captained by the legendary Troy Corser, seems like a bad story: technical difficulties in unlocking the funds prevented the two riders, Ayrton Badovini and Toni Elias, even though they were registered in the World Championship with a Dorna guarantee. , to debut together with their colleagues in Australia, in the first round of Phillip Island.

After the goodbye to Thailand, however, nothing more was heard of the team: no press release and above all no guarantee of participation in the second round of the Championship.
Internal rumors at BMW speak of contracts not being respected and of bank transfers never arriving, and given that the JR team had booked four motorbikes, rented part of the Rosenheim racing department and the hospitality of the old official team of the German company, there is talk of very important figures.
In addition, it seems that the team management has also become unattainable for the two "official" riders, who at the current state of affairs are practically on foot, with little prospect of finding another saddle for the continuation of the season, unless MV Agusta does not decide, as rumored, to field a second bike by giving Leon Camier a garage partner.
