ESLICK OUT OF BRITISH SUPERSTOCK
I
t looks like Danny Eslick won't
be able to finish his debut sea-
son of the British National Su-
perstock Series, the ILR Kawa-
saki team lacking the financial
backing for any further rounds.
"Headed to the airport," Es-
lick wrote on his Facebook page
on Sunday, April 27. "Just want
to say thanks to everyone who
made my trip to England a very
memorable experience. I'm not
ready to leave yet as there's a lot
of paint to be traded in the British
Championship. Thank you."
Eslick finished eighth in the
series opener at Brands Hatch
and was looking forward to rac-
ing at Oulton Park, a track where
this year's Daytona 200 winner
had tested.
"All this of course takes finan-
cial backing, and with the 2014
team budget already allocated,
this unfortunately means that it
is not possible to fully fund this
venture with the full support
it deserves," the team stated.
"This is a shame for since arriv-
ing on these shores a few weeks
ago, the talented American has
proven to be a rider of impecca-
ble character and professional-
ism, and extremely popular with
his fellow competitors, race fans
and the media alike."
It looks like Danny Eslick's season of
British Superstock racing is over as
the team lacks the funds to continue.

AN AGO MV
N
ot many names in motorcy-
cling are linked as closely as
MV Agusta and Giacomo Agos-
tini. And now there's an MV F3
800 done up in the tri-color and
gold that makes it impossible
not to think of the 15-time World
Champion.
Dressed in red, white and
green with gold accents, the
F3 800 AGO features upgrades
such as carbon fiber front and
rear fenders. It also gets ABS,
forged wheels and aluminum-
alloy footpegs.
The bikes will come with
plaques that will feature a certi-
fication number and Ago's auto-
graph will be featured on the top
of the fuel tank. Buyers will also
get a signed certificate by Agos-
tini. Only 300 of the F3 800 AGO
edition MVs will be made and
they are expected to be available
in May. They will sell for 23,990
Euros with U.S. pricing and avail-
ability yet to be determined.
