Si ritorna a parlare del team SBK Effenbert Liberty Racing: è di oggi la notizia del ritorno della formazione di Mario Bertuccio nel mondiale 2013 delle derivate di serie a partire dal prossimo round di Aragon del 14 aprile.
Smentite le voci che volevano pronta una BMW S1000RR da affidare a Lorenzo Lanzi. Il nuovo pilota della scuderia italo-ceca sarà il 29 enne australiano Mark Aitchison che porterà in pista la collaudatissima ed '"ex-pensionata" Ducati 1098 R, sfidando in pista la 1199 Panigale ufficiale del team Ducati Alstare.
Di seguito il comunicato ufficiale (in inglese) apparso ieri sul sito del team.

2013
The
Effenbert Liberty Racing is pleased to announce that from the Motorland Aragon
round of the SBK championship on 14 April, renovates the challenge in the
Superbike World Championship.
For this
aim, the team decided to line up on the starting grid the expert Australian
rider Mark Aitchison. On this occasion, the rider will be riding the Ducati
1098R #8, bike that gave great satisfaction to the team in the previous Sbk
seasons.
”I'm very
happy to have found a place in the World Superbike Championship for this
season. I am really looking forward to starting this new project with the
Effenbert Liberty Racing Team as it's a great opportuntity! Ofcourse we know
that it will not be easy coming in late to the series. We have had not
testing and development time, so it's fair to say we have planned to use the
first few rounds to accustom myself with the bike and team. I will do my
absolute best I can for the team, and I'm sure once we find a good direction
and rhythm the results will come. At the moment I'm just focused on enjoying
the racing and enjoying getting back to SBK after my team BSB are no longer
running.”
“We are very proud to be able to line up our Ducati 1098R
also this year, - said the Team Owner, Mario Bertuccio - we want to face the
championship with determination. The 2012 season for us was particularly hard
and therefore this year we have the opportunity for rewrite positively our
future . We have a lot of trust in Mark, that I desire to personally thank for
having accepted to belong to our team helping us to realize, with
determination, our project. There are all the right bases to face in
constructive way the appointment with the World SBK Championship”.
All staff
of Effenbert Liberty Racing Team would like to thank the organization of the
World SBK Championship and all its sponsors that, with their support and
enthusiasm, have made possible to continue our commitment to this sport.
