Liberty Racing says Sylvain Guintoli has had poor results

After their brief press release issued this afternoon regarding Sylvain Guintolileaving their team, Liberty Racing has decided to put an entirely different spin to the story and from a“misunderstanding between the mechanics and the administrative management of the team” (the mechanics haven’t been paid for several months) have gone ballistic and now are criticizing the French rider because of his lack of results that caused a “subsequent reduction of investments by the sponsor.”

Guintoli is the Liberty rider that gave the team their first victory in World Superbikes by winning Race 1 at Assen this year and he took a second place at race 2, always at Assen and a third place at Phillip Island, and a Superpole at Monza and he is/was currently 8th in the standings with 110 points, and compare it to Czech team mate Jakub Smrz who is in 11th place and no podiums and Maxime Berger in 15th - Brett McCormick has been out of action since Assen.
