Team Roberts waiting for sponsors

At the moment Team Roberts has yet to announce whether or not the team will participate in the 2008 MotoGP world championship. The team is currently waiting on a response of a proposed sponsorship package that will enable the team to run a two-rider MotoGP team utilizing Ducati equipment in 2008.

"We're just kind of sitting and waiting, basically," Chuck Aksland, Team Roberts Team Manager told Roadracingworld.com. "There's been a program in the works which has been sort of attached to the Las Vegas sponsorship that was on our bike this year, and it's quite a big program. We're not really involved in putting the whole thing together. We're more or less the MotoGP aspect of it. It involves other motorsports programs.

"The people who have been working on it are well into their second year into putting this whole thing together. We were supposed to know a little more around Christmas, mid-December, but some of the parties are back east [United States] and, as you probably know, were affected by the ice storms that happened back there. It kind of got delayed. We're supposed to know more this month, the middle of this month."
