Klaffi Honda takes a break in SBK
Although Team Klaffi Honda secured its best season in the
SBK, the Austrian Honda Team will not be present in SBK in
the 2007. Team owner and manager Klaus Klaffenböck already
considers a possible return to SBK for 2008 with a new package
plus exclusive sponsorship. At the moment the Klaffi-Team
is preparing for the Isle of Man TT and will therefore soon
nominate a top class rider. Klaffi Honda would like to continue
working with the partners in this exciting challenge.
Klaus Klaffenböck, Team Manager: “First of all
I want to thank all sponsors, partners and medias for the
cooperation in SBK. In addition I would like to thank FGSport
with Paolo Flammini and his team for their excellence work
during the years. Our team reached one victory and five more
podium finishes this year, in overall it was sixth place in
the World Superbike Championship. Still it was not possible
to secure the necessary budget for 2007. I can say that we
will not disappear from the motor sport scene at all. I am
open for all future options amongst this is for sure also
a possible return to SBK in 2008. Now our main project is
the Tourist Trophy 2007. At the forthcoming edition number
100 at the Isle of Man our Team will be a serious contender
for the victory in the major solo-categories Supersport, Superstock,
Superbike. My personal goal there is the sidecar-victory.
I am looking forward very much for this race with its outstanding
atmosphere.”
