DUCATI AND ALSTARE TO TERMINATE PARTNERSHIP
The decision was taken in common agreement after a meeting in Borgo Panigale, Bologna
Early partnership termination due to global economic downturn challenging Team Alstare’s 2014 expenses
Ducati confirms its participation in the 2014 World Superbike Championship with plans and riders to be confirmed in the coming days
Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 25 October 2013 – By common agreement, Ducati and Alstare have decided to terminate their partnership, which started in November 2012. Ducati and Team Alstare have reached the end of a very difficult season unable to achieve the desired results, despite the effort, commitment and resources applied by both parties.
The partnership between the Bologna-based motorcycle manufacturer and Team Alstare was expected to continue in 2014, however, the current economic climate and subsequent withdrawal of support by one of Alstare’s main partners, has dictated that the Belgian team must downsize its future plans.
In a meeting held at the Ducati factory in Borgo Panigale, Bologna, Francis Batta and the Ducati management decided the best course of action would be an early termination of the agreement before the start of the 2014 season.
“I am extremely sorry that an operation that had started on such a positive note had to be concluded before its time without achieving the results we were aiming for,” said Ernesto Marinelli, Ducati SBK Project Manager. “This was a very difficult year in terms of sports performance, but I am convinced that it nevertheless made us both grow and lay solid foundations for our future development and improvement. In these months together, I experienced the constant professionalism and expertise of everyone at Team Alstare, and I hope to be able to work with them again in the future. My special thanks, both in my personal capacity and on behalf of the whole company, go to Francis for the effort he has put in this year – as he always has throughout his career.”
“I am very sad because this challenge, which began last November, was very important for me as a fresh start after missing one year,” said Francis Batta Owner of Team Alstare. “Working with Ducati was incredibly thrilling, although unfortunately, we failed to achieve the results we had set ourselves. The 2013 racing season has been incredibly hard for us, and being unable to start from a solid position in 2014, I would rather not take risks that might compromise our ability to complete the season. I would like to thank Ducati for trusting me and I wish them all the success that they deserve."
Ducati has confirmed that it will take part in the Superbike World Championship next season, with 2014 riders and racing plans to be announced in the coming days.
+1, mais il y a toujours les mêmes devant, alors effectivement un micro chouïa plus de talent mais très très régulierlevraiEagle4 a écrit :Sont pas à la traine, z'ont juste pas le même matos et un micro chouïa moins de talent, car quand tu regarde les écarts en qualifs les 10 premiers se tiennent en combien ?
Randy est bon c'est indéniable sinon il ne serait plus en MotoGP depuis longtemps. Mais il cumul un manque de chance certain avec un niveau de perf légèrement en retrait vis à vis du Top 3.Le baveux a écrit :Ce n'est pas toujours vrai,regarde Randy
