-----------------

The Hungarian-based Team Toth has had a turbulent year so far. The team's pursuit of glory in the 250 class was boosted by the signing of the talented Italian Mattia Pasini, but signing Pasini meant obtaining top-flight equipment, and so the team obtained a factory-spec RSA 250 from Aprilia, a necessary prerequisite for any rider with title aspirations.

But factory-spec Aprilias don't come cheap. And finding the million euro lease fee is proving more difficult than Team Toth had at first thought. So far behind had the team fallen in their payments that at Assen, Aprilia withheld the ECUs from the team until an emergency funds transfer hit the Noale firm's bank account, leaving both Pasini and his team mate Imre Toth Jr sitting idly in the pits for half of the first session of free practice.

Pasini looked to be in similar difficulties at the Sachsenring, with early reports suggesting that Aprilia was once again withholding vital parts awaiting payment from the team. But this time, Team Toth got a payment of 100,000 euros to Aprilia on time, according to GPOne.com (http://www.gpone.com/news/News.asp?NNews=4788), and so both Pasini and Immi Jr will both be riding from the start of the weekend. But the payment will only cover the costs of the bikes for the Sachsenring, and so the entire soap opera looks set for a repeat at Donington.
