I think this is a joke, i could ring mr ashton up right now and find out if its true but im not that sad, had martyn talking the other day about the team line up for this year on ashton bikes, martyn ashton, chris akrigg, gavin bedford my mate, kurt brain and eddy tongue and danny holroyd, i dont think akkers wud leave ashton bikes as he's one out of all of these riders which is keeping ashton bikes going. and he is a big part of the team, its like this year and last year y not hav all the top riders on one team like KOXX they hav loads of top riders on one.
Im just hopeing its not true as it wud be very bad for martyn to lose such a great rider.
