War of words continues between Kevin Schwantz and Circuit of the Americas over his expulsion from Honda/Yamaha test and ban from racetrack (http://www.sportrider.com/news/146_13030_schwantz_responds_to_cota_statement/)The verbal war continues between former 500cc Grand Prix World Champion Kevin Schwantz and the Circuit of the Americas, after the Texan was escorted out of the CotA circuit by track security from the private Honda/Yamaha MotoGP test last week, despite having proper MotoGP credentials and being an invited guest of the LCR Honda team. Afterward, Schwantz issued a statement describing his experience, which included CotA track security informing him that he was "guilty of criminal trespass" and would be "arrested" if he ever set foot on the grounds again.
This resulted in CotA spokesperson Julie Koenig Loignon issuing a counter-statement that read in part, "It is well known that Kevin Schwantz filed suit against Circuit of The Americas last year, and that case is working its way through the legal system. The MotoGP test that was hosted by the Circuit last week was a private event, and open only to participating teams and invited media. Mr. Schwantz was not invited to attend the session by Circuit of The Americas, and as a private property owner, (CotA) determines who has access to its facility...Circuit of The Americas is the organization responsible for bringing MotoGP to Texas through its promotional agreement with the commercial rights holder Dorna."
