Toni Erhard and Roto-Store BRT Vitori are parting ways effective immediately due to various tensions, the 21-year-old IDM Supersport racer has announced. However, he says the season isn't over for him just yet.

“However, it’s not exactly easy to find an open spot on a team at this point,” says the 2018 champion. He has already considered some options, though, and hopes to find a suitable solution that will allow him to secure a ride elsewhere.

The season had only really begun for Erhard a week and a half ago in Most. He missed the events at the Lausitzring and in Oschersleben due to injury. The Kawasaki Ninja 400 rider had broken his ankle during test rides in April. In Most, the Schwarzenberg native took to the track for the first time this year. “My foot held me back a bit more than I’d expected. But my feel for the bike and my confidence in it kept getting better with every lap,” Erhard said. He took home four championship points. “Next up on the calendar is the race weekend from July 22 to 24 at the Schleizer Dreieck. I hope to have found a motorcycle by then.”
