Eric Bostrom Confirms That He's Retiring To Brazil

Returning a phone call to Roadracingworld.com today, Eric Bostrom confirmed that he is leaving motorcycle racing and heading to Brazil to run a farm.

"I would say it is a hiatus," said Bostrom of his break from racing. "I'm putting a lot of my time and resources into this. There's a lot of incentives to invest in Brazil, a lot of tax breaks.

"It seems like there's a lot more stability down there. The stock market here is getting hammered.

"This can lead to a lot of other opportunities, things I've wanted to do like study, learn some other languages, play guitar.

"And if I get bored with this after a year and want to return to racing I think I'm still young enough that I can do it. Ben (Bostrom) has shown that you can come back and still do well."

Bostrom said that he's leaving for Brazil this coming Monday.

Roadracingworld.com wishes him well.

They've always been kind of ecclectic. Doesn't really surprise me. He was doing right by Yamaha with their re-emergence in AMA Superbike.

I bet he's going to clearcut some rain forest and plant sugarcane crops. Brazil has it's own version of ethanol that is actually a cost-effective alternative to gasoline. Hell, if I had a ton of cash I'd quit racing and invest in one a cash crop like sugarcane or soybean. Damn DMG is turning our racers into farmers.....
