gaat Rubén Xaus óók naar de Superbike ?

[Busaberke]

De Spaanse coureur Rubén Xaus zal hem, na een teleurstellend seizoen met Yamaha, gaan volgen naar de op productiemachines gerelateerde serie. Nadat hij in 2004 op een Ducati de Rookie of the Year Award wist te behalen was de Spanjaard het afgelopen seizoen in het Yamaha satelliet team niet in staat zijn potentieel te laten zien. Diverse valpartijen, een gebrek aan zelfvertrouwen en slechte resultaten hebben hem doen besluiten terug te keren naar het WSBK, waarin hij in 2003 als tweede wist te eindigen achter Neil Hodgson.

nope: Caracchi doet enkel SS in 2006.


Rolfo is idd bezig voor SBK met Ducati.  Volgens mij met een "sateliet Ducati"team dat indien alles doorgaat toegevoegd kan worden aan bovenstaand rijtje.

ff afwachten

Ik ben ff in de archieven gedoken..

Roberto Rolfo kwam net als landgenoot Battaini uit de 250cc naar de MotoGP, volgend jaar treffen ze elkaar weer samen in de Superbikes. In 2005 had ´Roby´ een moeizaam jaar met de 2004 d´Antin Ducati op Dunlop banden, de niet meest ideale combinatie. Een 10e plaats in de natte race op Donington was zijn beste klassering. Lange tijd leek het er op dat hij ook in 2006 actief zou zijn in de MotoGP, behalve bij d´Antin waren er ook mogelijkheden voor hem bij Yamaha Tech-3. Het vertrek van een van zijn grootste persoonlijke sponsoren deed hem besluiten zijn pijlen op de 250cc te gaan richten. Hij kwam er al snel achter dat hier de belangrijkste plaatsen al waren vergeven waardoor hij nu ook naar WSBK vertrekt om voor Team Caracchi een Ducati 999F05 te gaan berijden.

Denk toch dat MotoGP-news.nl zich vergist of een onjuiste bron heeft?

Voor zover als ik weet doet NCR-Caracchi in 2006 slechts WK SS en zal Rolfo  indien alles doorgaat wel op een Duc rijden maar niet op een Caracchi Duc.

Ruben Xaus was oorspronkelijk degene die voor Caracchi in aanmerking kwam voor de SBK . Echter, naar wat ik heb begrepen betekende het vertrek van Gianlucca "nanna69" Nanelli van Caracchi naar het nieuwe PN corse Ducati team ook dat een deel van de fabriekssteun richting dat nieuwe team gaat waardoor het voor caracchi niet mogelijk is om in twee klasse te rijden.



we zullen zien...

ROBERTO ROLFO AND STEFANO CARACCHI

TOGETHER FOR CHALLENGE 2006 WORLD SUPERBIKE

(Bologna 2006, January 1)

Last Thursday, December 29, has been signed an agreement for 2006 World Superbike series between the fast Italian rider Roberto Rolfo and Scuderia SC Caracchi. After a MotoGP apprenticeship season with a Ducati Desmosedici GP04, Rolfo will go on to defend the Italian firm colours riding the Ducati 999F05. The first tests on the new bike are scheduled from 6 to 8 January at Valencia Circuit.

Stefano Caracchi doesn't cover his satisfaction for this agreement.

"Roberto is one of the most interesting young riders of world motorcycle racing arena, coupling his youth with a large experience. More, he as the experience of a full season with the MotoGP and so he has the knowledge of four strokes engines, also if there are several differences between MotoGP and Superbike. I believe that Roby, who has been a first class star in 250GP arena winning 3 world events, could successful follow the Marco Melandri's winning model after a short apprenticeship, the fee to pay in a Championship which becomes, season after season, harder for a non-works team, looking at the efforts in money and technology that the work-supported teams invest in this series. We have to approach the championship with unpretentiousness and well knowing our possibilities, but I'm confident we'll be able to offer to Roby Rolfo the possibilities that his talent, in which we have full trust, deserves. More if we want to look also at the statistics and curiosity of our agreement we could see as Roberto won 3 world events and reach 18 times the world podium in his career, just like the Scuderia SC, and well Roby picked as racing symbol a smiling wolf, likewise the logo of the historic Scuderia NCR, from which Scuderia SC is the natural heir; we are hoping that this will means a positive and successful season for both of us."
