Barros ejecte Neukirchner !!!

[philaix]

Qu'il est dur pour un jeune pilote talentueux de concurrencer un vieux briscard arrivant du MotoGP !

J'espere pour ce jeune pilote qu'il trouvera guidon à son niveau, pour ma part il m'a sacrément impressionné la saison derniere malgré un manque de regularité..

Barros in, Neukirchner out at Klaffi.

MotoGP refugee Alex Barros has been confirmed as a rider for Klaffi Honda in the Corona Extra Superbike World Championship in 2006, but his arrival means there is no longer a race seat for Max Neukirchner.

The team's official website confirms the news with insufficient budget to run both riders - which was orginally thought to be the plan - the reason cited for Neukirkner's departure. The squad is supported by money from Honda, and the Japanese manufacturer supports the placement of Barros at the team, but negotiations for an increase in budget to retain Neukirckner did not come to fruition.

Team manager Klaus Klaffenboeck explains all. "At the next to last running of the Superbike World Championship at the beginning of October in Imola, I spoke with the management of Max Neukirchner immediately over the possible negative developments. Unfortunately, the fears became true now.

"On the 18th January I had the last meeting with Honda. An additional budget for Max Neukirchner is not available on the part of Honda.
