PrintAfter ten professional seasons, former Star Yamaha rider Ryan Morais announced his retirement today from professional racing. Morais will take on a new role in the industry as Star Racing Yamaha's team manager. Morais made the annoucement via his Facebook page earlier today:
It is time for me to announce my retirement as a professional motocross racer. The opportunity to be a professional racer over the last 10 years has been an incredible journey. I would like to thank my family, friends, sponsors and fans for all of the support, encouragement and love that I have received over the years. Now that I am putting up my boots, I am excited to focus on the next chapter in my life. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I get to announce I will be the Star Racing Yamaha’s Team manager, test rider and rider coach. I look forward to seeing you all at the races!

Such a great guy... so sad he never really got the chance to show his true potential due to injuries. I wish you all the best in the future Ryan!
Gosh, really great rider. I remember announcing his name in the 85cc ranks racing for
Thousand Oaks Yamaha at Loretta Lynns. Erv Braun told me how to pronounce it correctly. He hauled it
back then and still does. Best of luck to Ryan in his new ventures.
Nice transition!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan has always raced with class and respect and I'm sure he will bring that same integrity as a team manager, Good Luck Ryan!!
I was under the impression that he retired awhile back ! Best wishes
damn tough block covers.
Hope it goes well for him.
I totally forgot about that guy, thought he retired a couple years ago and was bangin Andrew Short's wife.

I love a man who can explain a punch line. Frandrup427 meet me at the same spot on Sunday after the race :) I'll be the receiver this time.
