Looking over the the two World Superbike timesheets from Assen, we just noticed that there is a team missing from the list, Pro Ride Real Game Honda team.
Marco Nicotari’s Pro Ride team tried to debut in 2009 which turned out to be a bust as they couldn’t find any sponsors and 2010 they tried again with Makoto Tamada but never officially debuted.
This year it seemed that the team had finally found some decent sponsors and they took part if the first two rounds of the 2012 season.
They debuted at Phillip Island with Raffaele de Rosa who after a DNS and a 17th spot in race 2 decided that the team didn’t have a prospects and jumped ship, and he was replaced at Imola with Lorenzo Alfonsi who DNF’d in both races.
Now the Tuscany based squad has again gone MIA and their website and Facebook page hasn’t been updated in the last three weeks.
