David Vuillemin Talks About Why He Left as Team Manager of MotoConcepts

David Vuillemin spoke with Supercross.com about why he left as team manager of the MotoConcepts supercross / motocross race team. Here's what DV had to say...

You recently left your position at MotoConcepts as the Team Manager, why did you make that decision?

I was ready to work with their "future rider" (Editor's note: We believe the rider is Mike Alessi) in our program and help him improve his supercross skills and become a top 5 contender again. We would budge on the brand of the bike (Suzuki) and some other wishes the rider wanted. But I still wanted to have some control and some say on the program to continue our good work we've been doing for a year. Everything was agreed around Pala National to go ahead and do the deal, but it didn't go thru after all. The rider and the family wanted way more control on everything. At that point, I told Mike Genova (Team Owner) if he wanted to give them all the control, I could not stay in the position just to wear a team shirt and watch someone else run the team. The deal was then off the table, and we started looking at other options by sending offers to a few other riders, but after the Monster Cup, Sunday night, Mike Genova decided to go back and give the rider and his family what they wanted.
