Sveriges "enda" riktiga VM-team verkar vara helt utraderat. Nu kommer man inte ens in på deras sida.

Har Johan ledsnat, är allt borta eller finns det någon plan att fortsätta på något sätt?

Är det någon som vet?
 
Jag har inga problem med sidan heller ... men nyheterna är ju inte direkt färska där. Av vad jag hört ryktesvägen så är de med i leken ... det är nog bara datanörd-delen av teamet som har höstdepression ...

Blev nog fel va... eller? :) Tror du och hoppas att de ska lägga ner? Det är
väl super med ett svenskt team i VM, men får man inte ihop det så får
man det inte helt enkelt. Men vi får hoppas på det bästa.

Vad händer med Veidec Teamet till näst år, försvinner de?
 
Det fick så där, tyvärr. http://www.motomatters.com/news/2009/12/13/stiggy_honda_shuts_up_shop.html

Johan Stigefelt's adventure into World Superbike racing is at an end. The team today issued a press release announcing that the financial situation in which they found themselves meant that they had been forced to call it a day, and that therefore the Stiggy Racing Team would not be competing in either the World Superbike or World Supersport championship next year.

The press release left no doubt as to where the team felt the blame lay. "The decision has been made after a close evaluation of the team's poor economic situation which was created during this year's expanded venture by participating in both Championship classes. A huge financial project that was poorly executed by the team's investors as a result of failure to [fulfil] their financial commitments for the 2009 season." So went the explanation from Stiggy. The reference is to the split between Stiggy and their financial partners S2 Racing, which occurred amidst much acrimony on October 1st of this year.

The loss of the Stiggy Racing team is a blow for the World Superbike series. The team's parlous financial state came about as a result of their ambitious move to field riders in both the World Superbike and World Supersport championships. That decision was made after previous success in the World Supersport class, where the team punched well above their weight in terms of the equipment they had at their disposal. The 2009 season saw the team start with big names in both the World Superbike and World Supersport class, with Leon Haslam and Roby Rolfo in WSBK and Ant West and Gianluca Vizziello in WSS. But signs of financial problems surfaced early, as Stiggy let Rolfo go to slot John Hopkins into the team, officially because Rolfo was still recovering from shoulder surgery, though Rolfo was vocal in his denial of injury problems. As the year went on, those money problems continued to grow, with Vizziello being dropped for the last three races of the year and Hopkins missing much of the year through injury. Despite these problems, Leon Haslam had an outstanding year, finishing 6th in the World Superbike championship and taking 4 podiums along the way.

The Stiggy team's ability to organize and run a World Superbike effort was never in doubt. Their problem, as is so often the case in motorcycle racing, is the ability to raise sufficient money to finance the whole operation. Stiggy are not alone in this: the reigning British Superbike championship team GSE Racing have so far failed to find the funds to race in BSB in 2010; Hayate were forced to pull out of MotoGP when it became clear they could not raise the necessary funds to continue in 2010, and switched to Moto2 instead; the Guandalini and Borciani teams have been forced to merge to be able to run 1 and maybe 2 riders in World Superbikes next year; and a raft of Moto2 teams are still unsure of being able to participate next season unless they can raise the money in sponsorship. Until motorcycle racing as a whole can start to capitalize on its undoubted popularity, it will continue to struggle in all of its many forms.
 
"It was a good run" kan man säga. Får hoppas de är åter igen ett annat år.

Fully pressreleasen jag fick:

The Stiggy Racing Honda team has under it's five years of participation been very successful, but never the less found it self put in a difficult economical situation and has been forced to withdrawal from the Superbike and Supersport World Championships in 2010
The decision has been made after an close evaluation of the teams poor economical situation which was created during this years expanded venture by participating in both Championship classes. A hugh financial project that was poorly executed by the teams investors as a result of failure to it's financial commitments of the 2009 season.
The Stiggy Racing Honda team has since its beginning shown great potential. Starting up in 2005 in the SSP class slowly building it's ground in the championship and year by year advancing to finally set a solid mark as a top contender in the Championship. The team managed its best result in 2008 by finishing third in the SSP championship with Australian rider Joshua Brookes.
Being a private team in a Championship like Superbike, consisting of seven factory teams means not only stiff competition on track but also means a beforehand financial weakness, making it very difficult to survive without a solid financial backup and support from it's surroundings. Despite financial disadvantages the team has been able to achieve incredible performance in its SBK rookie year. Debuting the season with a third place podium finish, repeating another three podiums places during the season including 11 top five finishes. Giving Leon Halsam the title as best privateer rider, taking a sixth place in the Championship. The team ended its year as the fifth best ranked team in both SSP and SBK classes 2009.
A magnificent result by everyone involved with the Stiggy Racing Honda team since its beginning. An achievement to be proud of and by that finishing it's career with heads held high.
