From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvain Guintoli (born 24 June 1982 in Montélimar, France, currently living in Leicester, England), is a motorcycle racer. He made a single MotoGP start in 2002, but has spent most of his career in the 250 cc World Championship on private bikes. His best championship finish is 9th, in 2006.

In 2007, he will be racing in the MotoGP class for the Tech 3 Yamaha team. He described the opportunity as a "dream come true"[1], but suffered a setback early in testing when he crashed and broke his collarbone, eliminating him from testing for several weeks[2] .
