Several Italian media sources are reporting that Sylvain Guintoli hasn’t lost anytime to try to find a new ride for the remaining part of the 2012 eason, and is already in talks with other teams, and more specifically with Pata Racing.
Pata Racing currently fields rookie Lorenzo Zanetti and seems to want to add to their line-up a proven veteran rider that can win on a Ducati (only Guintoli and Checa have won on the Italian machine this season) and there are rumors that the French rider could be on the snack branded 1198 as soon as the Silverstone round (August 5th).
Guintoli left Liberty Team after his pit crew walked out because they weren’t paid by the squad, (Guinters and Smrz have salaries, while Berger and McCormick pay-to-ride) and he ended up being the scapegoat of the situation and accused of lack of results.
