It’s an “absurd” story that shakes the world paddock Supersport. An image damaged by a war between a driver and his team whose category would have gone well. He is the collateral victim of this astonishing news item in Aragón. Because we are no longer in the sports business. There is talk of motorcycle theft in the middle of a meeting in the very heart of the stands. And the most incredible thing is that the pilot, who appeared as the first victim, would in fact be the author.
What is certain is that you can bet your pay thatHéctor Barbera will no longer race for the Toth team. Let's summarize the facts: on Sunday morning, the team's Yamaha R6 had disappeared overnight. The following hours, Barbera issued a press release recounting the miserable state of the team and its equipment due to the fault of an investor with absent subscribers. The adventure was over.
But the affair is only just beginning. The boss of the eponymous structure Imre toth has his vision of things. And it is different: “ the bike must be in the paddock, security is excellent, I did my job, I spoke to the police and I hope they find it. I hope my bike comes back, it's a good bike with good mechanics. I don't know what happened with Héctor. At two in the morning I got a message saying he didn't want to race, the bike was a joke ».
« He also had good pace, Héctor is a very good driver, but from a personal point of view… Héctor didn't want to race ". The Magyar defended himself against accusations of non-payment. “ I pay Héctor, his Spanish staff and the mechanics, you can talk to them. I want to continue, I have a budget to continue and go to Assen. With Héctor, it's not possible with what he said. So I'm looking for another driver. In the contract between Héctor and me it says that he runs for free, that I don't have to pay him, so there is no economic problem ", did he declare.
On the engine, the object of Barbera's recriminations, the same Toth precise : " there is no problem with the engine, it can do 2 kilometers, the one we have now has 100. Caricasulo's has one kilometer less than Héctor's. Yes, he had a new one that broke after seven laps on Friday, but that's how racing is done, it can happen ", said Toth on Trademarks who explains that he will not recover the money through an insurer. “ No, there is only insurance for travel, not on the circuit, there is no license plate, it is a motorcycle, it is not guaranteed because there is falls and other things, I don't have insurance of 50 euros that I can recover in the event of theft ".
