Sportmediaset has struck out on the Max Neukirchner to MotoGP rumor.
Last week the Italian Studio Sport programme was reporting that the World Superbike Ten Kate Honda rider may have been heading to MotoGP with a new German backed team riding a Ducati, but these rumors have been officially squashed by Neukirchner himself.
Speaking with Motorsport Magazine, the German rider said: “Obviously, I’m honored that people are saying this about me.
Unfortunately, the people behind such a project have not yet really contacted us, and we don’t know anything about it.
”Neukirchner has had a torrid 2010 season so far, unable to match team mate Jonathan Rea’s performances and very likely will not be reconfirmed in 2011, with James Toseland heavily tipped to be his replacement.
