BLATA postpones V6 debut

Czech manufacturer Blata have announced that their V6 MotoGP prototype won't be ready for their home Grand Prix this weekend at Brno, as previously scheduled. The manufacturer joined forces with the WCM team last year, but the development of the new machine, and the set-up of a new racing department, took longer than expected.

?The motorcycle exists physically, it is standing on it's own wheels. It isn't complete though, and there is no sense in introducing something, that isn't finished,? said company founder and CEO Pavel Blata.

?With this, I would like to react to the false information in some media reports about this entire project. We have completed the chassis, that is the frame and the rear swing arm and also many other components. The majority of the parts of the motor itself are almost all finished as well.?

?We were slowed down during the development, but that is something you can't avoid when you are working on something completely new. It has happened to us many times, that we have announced the date we will roll out with our project, and didn't do so. Therefore, I will not set any further dates on when we will present this motorcycle"

I hope they

do manage to get it all sorted, and are not going to run out of money.

Seems a lot of maney to invest in something that will be useless inthe not too distat future.

Will they be able to afford the development cost's when the 800cc rule comes in?
