Ronald Haslam (born 22 June 1956)[1] is an English former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer who had been racing for over thirty years, winning two World titles, four British championships and having ridden in almost 110 GPs. Haslam spends much of his time helping his son Leon Haslam in his racing career and previously trained riders and racers alike at his former Race School based at Donington racetrack, Leicestershire.

During his career, Haslam gained the nickname Rocket Ron,[2] with his son named similarly as Pocket Rocket.[3][4]
