World Superbikes » Steve Martin gives up on DFX.

"But to continue riding the Honda with DFX for the two remaining Italian rounds would just be making up numbers on the grid and there's no point or benefit in that for anyone. Doing one race here and one race there, and on an undeveloped bike won't enable me to compete competitively to the best of may ability or, allow me the opportunity to look at other options of an alternative ride for the remainder of the season, which is what I now intend to do," Martin concluded.

Based at his European home in Switzerland, Martin will now be pursuing potential avenues for an alternative place in the motorcycle racing arena for 2007 and will be present at the next round of the WSBK Championship at Silverstone on 25-27 May.
