Aussie Mark Aitchison has been left without a WSBK ride once again.

Australian Mark Aitchison has been left sidelined following the announcement that Liberty Racing Team Effenbert will once again depart the Superbike World Championship.

The team announced this week its decision to quit the series after returning at Assen, leaving Aitchison without a seat once again mid-season.

“The Liberty Racing Team Effenbert thanks Dorna WSBK Organization Srl that allowed to the team to be present at the start to the 2013 season and try to recover the substantial value of the investment in marketing and promotional activities carried out in the Superbike World Championship from 2008 until today, first in sponsorships and then with direct participation,” the announcement said.

“Whereas, as noted, the main goal of our team is the use of racing according to the parameters necessary for the promotion of the brand of our main sponsor and our other partners, we have found, on our opinion, some difficulties during these races in pursuing this targets.

“Anyway, we believe that the continuation of the adventure of the team in the WSBK 2013 is not of our further interest, as the sponsors and partners have decided to direct the promotional investment in other channels at this time achieve the value economic effort/visibility more appropriate to the volume of investments.

“In the next days will be communicated in detail the operational programs. The team takes this opportunity to thank publicly all those who have shared this adventure and all those who have spoken and written of us, whether good or bad.”

Aitchison was originally scheduled to ride an Aprilia in British Superbike before that team closed due to personal reasons, before landing the Libert Racing seat in WSBK on a 1098 R.
