The legal battle between Kevin Schwantz and the Circuit of the Americas regarding the alleged rights to the 10-year contract to promote MotoGP went up a couple of notches during the recent MotoGP tests at the Austin circuit, when the former MotoGP champion was denied entry to the circuit.
Schwantz has released the following statement on the unpleasant situation.

I have read several reports regarding my attendance at the MotoGP test last week in Austin.

I would like to make this statement:“I had been in Switzerland over the weekend where I was the guest speaker at the St.
Gallen University.
I returned to Texas on Tuesday evening and on Thursday I was at CotA for the MotoGP test, with a proper credential supplied by the Attack team, to coach Blake Young.
Additionally I was an invited guest of the LCR Honda team.
While there, CotA security informed me that CotA management requested I leave the track immediately and was not welcomed at the circuit.

CotA’s security force also accused me of criminal trespass and warned I would be arrested the next time I entered the track.

This comes as a tremendous disappointment to Honda, Blake Young, and myself.
Especially because I am single-handedly responsible for bringing MotoGP to Texas and for the initial design of the facility to accommodate MotoGP racing.
