The rumor that Max Neukirchner would be heading to MotoGP with an all new German team was denied by Neukirchner’s manager and by Neukirchner himself, but more rumors of the German rider in MotoGP were floating around the Imola paddock last weekend.
It seems that the Neukirchner, after a horribile season with Ten Kate Honda with all probability will be ousted from the Dutch Superbike team, has found a very rich sponsor who is willing to back him in Pramac Ducati.
A German rider in MotoGP would make Carmelo Ezpeleta very happy.
Dorna’s CEO has always wanted a more ‘international’ grid with riders from other countries that could boost television audiences in other countries instead of the countless Spanish and Italian’s that fill the paddock.
Neukirchner would, if the rumors are true, replace Aleix Espargarò (who doesn’t have a rich sponsor) alongside Loris Capirossi who is almost sure to be replacing Mika Kallio.
UPDATED:According to Carlo Pernat talking to motosports show Griglia di Partenza from Motegi, has confirmed that Neukirchner is infact in talks with Paolo Campinoti’s team.
