Excerpt: Sylvain Guintoli (born 24 June 1982 in Montelimar) is a French professional motorcycle racer. He spent most of his career in the 250cc World Championship on private bikes, he made a single MotoGP start in 2002 during his run in the 250cc class, where he stayed until moving up to Moto GP in 2007. Guintoli at the 2008 United States Grand Prix.In 2007, he raced in the Moto GP class for the Tech 3 Yamaha team. He described the opportunity as a "dream come true," but suffered a setback early in testing when he crashed and broke his collarbone, eliminating him from testing for several weeks.
