Karl Muggeridge - Celani Suzuki 2009
The latest casualty of the economic crisis is the Celani Suzuki team, who have decided not to take part in the next round of the World Superbike Championship at Nurburgring on September 6.
The team are planning to make a come-back for the following three rounds at Imola, Magny Cours and Portimao with a more competitive machine after scoring only 5 points so far this season.
Karl Muggeridge was the initial rider for the team, scoring 4 out of the total 5 points before suffering a cracked vertebrae in a crash at Assen. Alessandro Polita replaced the injured rider after he was left without a ride when the Suzuki Hoegee team pulled out of the Supersport World Championship.
Muggeridge will be riding as a replacement for the injured Alstare Suzuki rider Max Neukirchner. The team will however have David Giugliano riding for them in the Nurburgring Superstock 1000 FIM cup on the same weekend.
