From Team S-Works Press
Team S-Works Triumph has released rider Shane Narbonne after a
direct contract violation considered unacceptable by team owner Bob Robbins.
"A team must operate on high standards which involves using the
principals of good business, and a need to honor primary sponsors for
their commitment. It is unfortunate for Shane who was showing great
promise with each round. I wish him the best in the future and truly hope he
can find his way to the level he is capable of."
The team has
drafted veteran racer Eric Gulbransen for the Infineon round and will
negotiate for future events as well. Gulbransen brings a lot of
knowledge, experience and positive energy to the table, and has always been a
hard charger. The team feels he can adapt quickly and help them to
continuein their commitment to Triumph, Commonwealth Motorcycles and
other sponsors to follow through with the plan of keeping a 675 in
thespotlight of AMA racing, and to help support the brand, showing that
thebike is a serious contender.
With the potential new class format, it
should become aviable choice for AMA racing, and the team hopes to have a
good head start by further developing their bikes and performance as they
have done already, and to offer their components to teams that want to
join the brand. "While I am sad to have a situation like this happen,we
willturn it into a positive spin, and the best part is we are not
losing ground by missing any events"
