When the first race of the 2023/24 SuperEnduro World Championship season kicked off in Lievin, France, last November, there was one brand missing from the starting gate. That brand had built a team, hired a former world champion racer, and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to compete.
That team had filed their entry for the series, built a bike that met FIM regulations, and had their entry confirmed by the organizing body. The team and its bikes were on the ground, ready to race, and yet Stark Future was not allowed to compete.
