From a press release issued for Ducati Austin by OMS Sports:

FLORENCE, Ky.–The Ducati Austin Racing Team announced that they have decided to release Australian rider Anthony Gobert from his contract with the team.

Terry Gregoricka, the team owner, declared: “Both of us have made a big effort to make things work this year, but they didn’t turn out the way we had expected at the start of the season.

“As a result the Ducati Austin team has decided to move in another direction.”

For the next two rounds of the AMA Superbike Championship at Brainerd (June 27-29) and Laguna Seca (July 10-13), the team will enter the World Superbike Championship rider, 30 year-old Italian Giovanni Bussei.
