Alstare would quit World Superbike before switching manufacturers
Alstare Suzuki has campaigned a single rider team with Michel Fabrizio in 2011.
Alstare team manager Francis Batta has clarified his position regarding current speculation about 2012, confirming that his team will only race with Suzuki motorcycles.
Here’s what the statement released by the team this week had to say:
Francis Batta and Alstare have been involved with Suzuki for the best part of 13 years and this tremendous relationship has given everybody an immense amount of satisfaction.
The strong relationship was forged right from the very beginning and has grown throughout the years and is one that Francis values very highly.
Francis has been a loyal supporter of Suzuki and it is for this reason that he would like to continue with them alone in the future.
If Suzuki decide not to take part in the World Superbike Championship next year, Francis will also stop rather than continue with another manufacturer.
Yamaha this week confirmed that it would be pulling out of the Superbike World Championship.
Most recent speculation coming out of Europe has linked Australia’s Troy Corser to a return with the team for next season.
