Mattia Pasini may not be competing in this weekend’s 250cc Sachsenring GP race and we may see another embarrasing repeat of what happened to Pasini and Team Toth during the Assen free practice last month.
According to Gpone, Team Toth is already setting up at Sachsenring, but Aprilia has once again impounded the electronic units, because the Noale based manufacturer is still waiting to recieve still another payment on the bikes and will release the units only on proof of payment as in Assen.
Pasini will have to wait to see what happens, but rumors are flying that the Italian rider may be heading to MotoGP to replace Niccolò Canepa in Pramac Racing.
Paolo Campinoti and Ducati have been reported as saying that they believe in Canepa, but that hasn’t stopped speculation that the rookie will be under close scrutiny at Sachsenring and Donington and unless he has a sharp improvement in the next two races, his Ducati could end up in Pasini’s hands for the rest of the 2009 season.
