Klaffi-Honda and Alex Barros part their ways
Alex Barros will not be with Team Klaffi Honda in 2007. The
36 years old Brazilian decided to move back to MotoGP in the
forthcoming season. Barros scored sixth in the World Superbike
Championship with a total of six podium results and one victory
in Imola at the penultimate round. The Klaffi-Honda-Team is
in serious talks with several other top riders for 2007 and
wants to line up with two riders in the World Superbike Championship
in 2007.
Klaus Klaffenböck: „We offered Alex a potential
package for 2007, but unfortunately he decided to quit and
go for another challenge. I have to thank him for his efforts
and wish him all the best. We had ups and downs with some
great performances. At the end of the season we had a very
competitive bike. Alex proved that with strong performances
in Lausitz and Imola. Especially the weekend in Imola was
stunning for our team. We achieved our first race victory,
although 2006 was only the second year since we started with
SBK.”
