The rumors regarding Max Neukirchner has left Alstare Suzuki are true and that he is probably heading to Ten Kate Honda is becoming even more probable and according to Motosprint he’ll be with Ten Kate for the next 2 years with an option on the third.

Alstare Suzuki Team owner Francis Batta talking to Italian website Gpone has explains why he let the German rider go.

“I had an option on Max valid until the 30th of September, but I felt that he gave me the run around.

I asked Max to come to the Imola race, but he arrived with an incomplete medical record.
We had to insist that he undergo a complete check-up with the Clinica Mobile and then we found out why … he never gave us any information on the surgeries that he’d undergone and we found that he had a very serious and delicate operation.

Dr.
Corbascio and the other doctors told us that he wouldn’t be able to ride for 4 to 6 months and when he returns no one can be sure if he’ll have the same mobility.
