Steve Martin was forced to miss this weekend’s official WSBK test in Valencia following the DFX Honda team’s decision to pull out at the last minute.

With all World Superbike teams present, Steve was eager to return to the Spanish circuit for the two day official test in order to make further in-roads to the improvements achieved with his Honda’s set-up at Phillip Island, and also prior to going into the first European round at Donington at the end of the month.

Steve commented, “I’m not 100% sure of the exact reason DFX decided at last minute to not attend the test, but whatever the reason, it’s not good that we weren’t there this weekend. Partly because we really do need more testing time as we’ve still got a lot of work to do with the bike, but also, because testing along with all the other teams and riders is one of the best indicators of competitiveness and improvements in the field. We’ve now missed out on both of these opportunities which can only be a hindrance to mine and the team’s performance. ”
