Statement on behalf of the Sendo Superbike Team - June 25th 2005

The Sendo Superbike Team will not be attending this week's race meeting at Knockhill because of financial reasons. Sendo and Dienza Performance are working together to find alternative arrangements for the team to complete the season.

Dienza Performance has been involved in motorcycle racing for seven years and has consistently fielded a competitive team of riders.

Spokesperson for the team, Enzo DiClemente, commented; "We are as disappointed by this situation as our fans are but hope to resolve the situation quickly. We sincerely apologise to all concerned that we will not be at the Knockhill meeting, to our loyal fans, as well as our other sponsors, riders and team members, race organisers."

Dienza Performance confirmed that it is not in any financial difficulty. Dienza has a fully operational team comprising of dedicated riders, mechanics, hospitality crew, bikes, trucks and drivers. Dienza hopes to be at the Snetterton race meeting even more determined to get the riders and team back at the front of the grid.

Enzo DiClemente added, "We have a very loyal team around us and our goal is to continue the season."
