WORLD Champion Tony Rickardsson''s manager Olli Tyrvainen has categorically denied rumours that the Swede is to bring forward his retirement.

Rickardsson failed to make the semi-finals in last weekend''s European Grand Prix, but Tyrvainen has blamed bike problems for his early exit.

He said: ''The rumours are not true, Tony is not retiring early. We had an electrical fault with the bike in Wroclaw and were down on power.''
