British Supersport Championship leader Glen Richards may be looking for a new team next season as the Embassy Triumph squad's backers have "suffered catastrophic financial losses" this week and it is not clear yet whether the team will be able to compete at Brands Hatch.
EFS Group, which is the team's major backer, has announced it cannot underwrite the team's season in 2009 but the team itelf is still contracted to Triumph. Aussie Richards currently has a 46-point lead in the championship, so could win it here at Silverstone tomorrow.
A team spokesman said: "We have negotiated retainers for all team personnel and we're confident of putting together the logistical and operational support required to run the team in the same manner as the highly-successful 2008."
Anyone interested in giving the team some assistance can email manager Myles Schofield on myles@bluepencilwriters.co.uk.
