BSB: SMT Honda in cash crisis

“Unless we find a title sponsor I think it's going to be increasingly hard for us to continue” - Robin Croft, Team Boss

SMT HONDA - the team running Honda Fireblades in this year's BSB championship - may pull the plug after hitting a financial wall at Knockhill.
Team boss Robin Croft said: “It's almost an impossible position we are finding ourselves in. So far this year I have been funding the racing myself because we just haven't been able to secure a title sponsor and whilst I love my racing I can't let my business run into debt for it because we employ a lot of people and it wouldn't be fair on them.

“Unless we find a title sponsor I think it's going to be increasingly hard for us to continue.”

Which is a real shame because the SMT squad are consistently amongst the high-budget, factory-backed teams.



A lot of bad news in the bike press this week :(
